Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of which one of the following?
Options
- AAldosterone
- BBoth androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone
- CAdrenaline
- DCortisol
Correct answer
C. Adrenaline
Step-by-step solution
The adrenal medulla synthesizes two hormones-adrenalin (epinephrine) and nor-adrenalin (non-epinephrine). These hormones are proteinaceous in nature and derived from amino acid tyrosine. Thus, injury to adrenal cortex will not affect the secretion of adrenaline.
