Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells of the adrenal cortex produce aldosterone, a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced by the adrenal medulla. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce its hormones. Angiotensin is produced by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance.
