Each adrenal gland consists of two parts, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. Determine which statements apply to the adrenal cortex and which statements apply to the adrenal medulla. Adrenal cortex: - Secretes the body's main stress hormone, cortisol, stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) released from the anterior pituitary gland. - Increases blood sugar levels and suppresses the immune system. Adrenal medulla: - Secretes adrenaline and noradrenaline, stimulated by acetylcholine (ACh) released by the sympathetic nervous system. - Enhances the body's fight-or-flight response.
