Option E is not a common characteristic of the region labeled B in the diagram. The region labeled B is the adrenal medulla, which is active during the fight-or-flight response, stimulated by the sympathetic division of the ANS, releases adrenaline during the first stage of the stress response, and contains specialized cells called chromaffin cells. However, it does not release hormones that have dramatic anti-inflammatory effects, which is a characteristic of the region labeled C, the adrenal cortex.
