Question

Fight or flight reactions cause activation of:

• A. The pancreas, leading to a reduction in the blood sugar levels
• B. The parathyroid glands, leading to increased metabolic rate
• C. The kidney, leading to suppression of renin angiotensin aldosterone pathway
• D. The adrenal medulla, leading to increased secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrin

Answer 1

The correct option is D The adrenal medulla, leading to increased secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrin

Adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine. They are secreted in emergency during fight or flight. That's why, they are called emergency hormones.
