<span>Most of the scientific method is sparked by a simple question: Why does this happen? A scientist (or any observing party) may see an event and wonder what caused that reaction or event. In order to find out, though, they must first cogently pose the question that outlines what they are looking for in the simplest terms possible. Then they must learn about the event, either through further observation or by asking those with more information or study in that particular area. Then, any variables that may affect the outcome of the event that occurred must be identified, so that they can be accounted for and either minimized or accentuated depending on the nature of testing. Only then should a testable hypothesis be formed.</span>

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system?

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The true statements regarding the adrenal glands' relationship with the autonomic nervous system are:

a. The adrenal cortex is an extension of the parasympathetic nervous system.

c. The adrenal glands are strictly nerve tissue.

d. The parasympathetic division stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.

e. The adrenal medulla is penetrated by the fibers of the sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The levels of the central nervous system which play important roles in influencing the autonomic nervous system include cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brain stem, and spinal cord. Usually, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine are released into the blood stem when stress or a threat occurs. This alert serves as a warning signal and defense system. The purpose is to maintain homeostasis.
