What would not take place if chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla undergoes oncogenesis?
High blood sugar and glucosuria
High BMR
Pheochromocytomas
Low blood pressure
D.
Low blood pressure
Chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla are responsible for secreting epinephrine and norepinephrine. Their tumour will lead to hypersecretion of epinephrine causing high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, glycosuria, high BMR, nervousness and sweating and pheochromocytomas.
