Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgens and estrogens are sex hormones produced by the adrenal cortex. The medulla of the adrenal gland produces other hormones, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline (also known as epinephrine and norepinephrine). Option A is incorrect because while the adrenal medulla does produce hormones, they are not androgens or estrogens. Option B is incorrect because metabolic hormones are not produced by the adrenal gland, rather they are involved in the regulation of metabolism. Option D is incorrect because neurotransmitters are not produced by the adrenal gland. Option E is incorrect because mineral hormones are produced by the parathyroid gland and thyroid gland, not the adrenal gland.
