The adrenal medulla (Latin: medulla glandulae suprarenalis) is part of the adrenal gland. It is located at the center of the gland being surrounded by the adrenal cortex. It is the innermost part of the adrenal gland consisting of cells that secrete epinephrine (adrenaline) norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and a small amount of dopamine in response to stimulation by sympathetic preganglionic neurons.
