Which of the following is true about the adrenal gland?
| | a) | The adrenal gland is innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which have complementary/opposite effects on adrenaline release | |
| | b) | The post-ganglionic neuron of the sympathetic nervous system that innervates the adrenal gland originates in the celiac ganglion | |
| | c) | Acetylcholine stimulates adrenaline secretion from the adrenal gland | |
| | d) | Activation of the sympathetic nervous system results in adrenaline release from the adrenal cortex | |

The adrenal gland is innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which have complementary/opposite effects on adrenaline release
The post-ganglionic neuron of the sympathetic nervous system that innervates the adrenal gland originates in the celiac ganglion
Acetylcholine stimulates adrenaline secretion from the adrenal gland
option (d) is wrong (correct answer is adrea\ al medulla)
