Question

___________ hormone is secreted when a person is under severe stress, fearful or angry.

• A. Adrenaline
• B. Insulin
• C. Glucagon
• D. Thyroxine

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Adrenaline

Adrenaline is produced in the medulla in the adrenal glands. Within a couple of minutes during a stressful situation, adrenaline is quickly released into the blood, sending impulses to organs to create a specific response. Adrenalin is known as 'fight or flight' hormone as it creates a specific response useful for situations of stress, anger or fear.
