The 9 pages that link to Chromaffin cells, each with the reason it gives.

• Adrenal cortexCompared with: These medullary cells differ from the cortex's steroid-producing cells in origin and secretory mechanism.

• Adrenal medullaBroader topic: These are the medulla’s secretory cells, activated by sympathetic nerve signals.

• PheochromocytomaBroader topic: Pheochromocytomas develop from this catecholamine-producing cell lineage.

• Adrenal glandBroader topic: Chromaffin cells form the hormone-secreting core of the medulla.

• AdrenalineBroader topic: These cells convert noradrenaline to adrenaline and release it during sympathetic activation.

• ParagangliomaRelated: Many paragangliomas resemble chromaffin cells and can secrete their hormones.

• Chromaffin SystemBroader topic: These cells are the network’s defining cellular units.

• Head kidneyRelated: Chromaffin cells in the head kidney provide a rapid hormonal response to stress.

• Neurosecretory systemsCompared with: It is a hormone-releasing cell derived from neural tissue, but not a neuron.
