Answer:
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex, and neurons of the sympathetic nervous system stimulate the adrenal medulla.
Explanation:
Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body and maintain the body's homeostasis in different adverse conditions. The hormones work by the feedback regulation system.
To overcome from the stress condition the body releases the hormone known as epinephrine. The receptors sense the stressful condition and adrenal cortex is stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone that results in the release of adrenaline hormone. The hormone activates the sympathetic nervous system of the body to cope with the fight and flight conditions.
Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
