a: Adrenal gland ~
b: an M&M
What: "Each adrenal gland is like an M&M. The outer coating (candy shell) has three layers that release electrolytes (think Gatorade), hormones (like the ones that control blood sugar) and Cortisol (a stress steroid)." "The inside of the adrenal gland (choco-late part of M&M) releases noradrenalin(the fight or flightresponse). Noradrenalinis a neurotransmitter (brain signal) com-posed of norepinephrine and epinephrine better known as adrenalin"From page 16 of the linked pdf file.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
