  1. adrenal medulla

    The adrenal medulla is the inner part of the adrenal gland, a small gland that sits on top of each kidney. It produces and releases hormones, particularly adrenaline and noradrenaline, in response to stress. These hormones prepare the body for a 'fight or flight' response, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and blood flow to the muscles. The adrenal medulla is integral to the body's ability to react and adapt to stressors.
