Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cortisol is primarily produced by the adrenal cortex.

Answer: A
 The anterior pituitary secretes a variety of hormones that regulate other endocrine glands, including the adrenal cortex.

Answer: E
 The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are part of the body's "fight or flight" response.
