has acetylcholine as its major secretory product.

Explanation:

The adrenal medulla is stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system (not parasympathetic). During stress, its secretions (e.g., adrenaline) increase. It is the inner (not outer) layer of the adrenal glands. Its major secretory products are adrenaline and nor - adrenaline (not acetylcholine). It does play a role in the body's adaptation for physical activity (e.g., increasing heart rate, blood flow to muscles during the "fight - or - flight" response).

Answer:

plays a role in the adaptation of the body for physical activity.
