Question

Identify the functions of adrenaline from the following:

• A. Increases heart beat
• B. Increases the blood supply
• C. Low glucose is released
• D. Decrease in blood pressure

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Increases heart beat
B Increases the blood supply

Adrenaline hormone is secreted by adrenal medulla. It is a hormone which prepares the body to fight or flight from any emergency situation. The hormone increases the heart beat of the person. This is accompanied by increase in blood pressure. Also, it increases the blood supply to the muscles. As a result, they are activated for an immediate action. Adrenaline results in release of more glucose into the blood for energy production.
