Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of which one of the following?
-
- Aldosterone
- Both Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone
- Adrenaline
- Cortisol
Correct Option: C
Adrenal gland has two parts-cortex and medulla. The medulla is stimulated by sympathetic nervous tissue to produce adrenaline and non-adrenaline while the cortex is stimulated by pituitary hormone to release cortisol, aldosterone and estrogens. Thus injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of adrenaline.
