B) The hormones released from the adrenal glands bind to different receptors than those released from neurons.
C) The adrenal gland releases larger amounts of the neurotransmitters than the neurons.
D) There are no enzymes to break down epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood and very little in peripheral tissues.
E) The epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal glands are released by sympathetic neurons, whereas parasympathetic neurons release these substances at the effector organs.
