Answer 1

The correct option is D Cortisone and adrenaline

The two hormones secreted by adrenal glands which regulate the rate of metabolism and the concentration of salts in blood and prepares the body to face the emergency are cortisone and adrenaline.

Cortisone is one of the main hormones released by the adrenal gland in response to stress. Cortisone suppresses the immune system, thus reducing inflammation and attendant pain and swelling at the site of the injury. Cortisone and adrenaline are the main hormones released by the body as a reaction to stress. They elevate blood pressure and prepare the body for a fight or flight response. So, the correct answer is option D.
