  4. D
    Adrenaline

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The adrenal gland consists of two parts: the cortex and the medulla.The Adrenal Cortex secretes glucocorticoids (Cortisol), mineralocorticoids (Aldosterone), and sex corticoids.The Adrenal Medulla secretes Adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline.Therefore, an injury to the cortex will not affect the medulla's secretion of adrenaline.
