Question

Certain preganglionic neurons from the sympathetic division can synapse directly with the adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla will release the neurotransmitters ___________ and ___________ into the blood stream which will travel to the target visceral effector.

Answer 1

The answer is epinephrine and norepinephrine

Step-by-step explanation:

The adrenal medulla is located in the adrenal gland and it is the main site of tyrosine conversion to the catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) as well as dopamine. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are hormones that also carry neurotransmitter functions in the autonomic nervous system.
