Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural crest cells give rise to both the adrenal medulla and postganglionic sympathetic nerves. The adrenal medulla is a specialized gland that secretes hormones involved in the body's stress response, while postganglionic sympathetic nerves are responsible for the "fight or flight" response. Both of these structures originate from neural crest cells during embryonic development.
