The Adrenal Medulla Contains Neuroendocrine Cells Called Chromaffin Cells That

The adrenal medulla contains neuroendocrine cells called chromaffin cells that communicate with the sympathetic nervous system by synapses with splanchnic nerves of the CNS.These cells synthesize and secrete catecholamines, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) that regulate blood pressure and modulate response to stress.
