CSP: located in the medulla of adrenal gland and paraganglia; can discharge epinephrine into bloodstream upon stimulation and through this the sympathetic nervous system can mediate hormonal-type actions on various organs throughout the body.,MSH: Cells that store epinephrine secretory vesicles. During times of stress, the nervous system signals the vesicles to secrete their hormonal content. Their name derives from their ability to stain a brownish color with chromic salts. Characteristically, they are located in the adrenal medulla and paraganglia (PARAGANGLIA, CHROMAFFIN) of the sympathetic nervous system.,NCI: A type of cell that makes neurohormones (chemicals that are made by nerve cells and used to send signals to other cells) and releases them into the blood. Chromaffin cells make epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). They are found in the adrenal glands or in groups of nerve cells called ganglia.,NCI: Cells that store epinephrine secretory vesicles. Characteristically, they are
