Descriptor médula suprarrenal
Entry term(s) médula adrenal
Scope note: Porción interna de la glándula suprarrenal. Derivada del ECTODERMO, la médula suprarrenal consta esencialmente de CÉLULAS CROMAFINES que producen y almacenan diversos NEUROTRANSMISORES, principalmente adrenalina (EPINEFRINA) y noradrenalina (NOREPINEFRINA). La actividad de la médula suprarrenal está regulada por el SISTEMA NERVIOSO SIMPÁTICO.

Scope note: The inner portion of the adrenal gland. Derived from ECTODERM, adrenal medulla consists mainly of CHROMAFFIN CELLS that produces and stores a number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS, mainly adrenaline (EPINEPHRINE) and NOREPINEPHRINE. The activity of the adrenal medulla is regulated by the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM.
