검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand the role of the adrenal medulla: The adrenal medulla is part of the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress.
Identify the hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla: The adrenal medulla is responsible for secreting catecholamines, which are hormones that prepare the body for a 'fight or flight' response.
Recognize the specific catecholamines: The primary hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla are epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).
Differentiate from other hormones: Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are secreted by the thyroid gland, cortisol and aldosterone by the adrenal cortex, and insulin and glucagon by the pancreas.
Conclude with the correct answer: Based on the above information, the adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine.
