Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are both hormones involved in the "fight or flight" response to stress. The adenohypophysis secretes tropic hormones that regulate various other endocrine glands, the adrenal cortex secretes steroid hormones such as cortisol, and the thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. The neurohypophysis stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus.
