The adrenal medulla is directly controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, which is part of the central nervous system. It secretes hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline in response to stress or danger. The hypothalamus does not control the ovary, testis, thyroid, or adrenal cortex directly but rather indirectly through the anterior pituitary gland.
