Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core of adrenal glands is the adrenal medulla, which produces and releases the hormones epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine during a stress response. These hormones increase heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, preparing the body for possible danger or action. In Georgiana's case, her house being destroyed by a tornado is a highly stressful situation, and her adrenal glands would release epinephrine to help her body cope with the stress. A and B are incorrect because the adrenal gland's medulla does not produce or release testosterone or androgens. C is incorrect because while stress can cause an increase in lymphocytes, the adrenal medulla is not responsible for producing or releasing these cells.
