Each adrenal gland consists of two parts, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. Determine which statements apply to the adrenal cortex, and which statements apply to the adrenal medulla.. Adrenal cortex Adrenal medulla stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) released from the anterior pituitary gland in response to stress mediates the body's long-term response to stress involving immune system suppression stimulated by acetylcholine (ACh) released by the sympathetic nervous system in response to stress releases mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, and...
