Is the adrenal medulla part of the endocrine system?

Solution

Adrenal medulla:
The adrenal medulla is a part of the endocrine system as well as the neural control system.
It releases the hormones adrenaline and nor-adrenaline which are catecholamines.
These catecholamines also function as neurotransmitters.
Adrenal medullary cells secrete hormones in the blood and act at a distant site through receptors like other endocrine glands.
