Question

When we are under stress or anger, the hormone which helps us to adjust is

• A. Insulin
• B. Adrenaline
• C. Thyroxine
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Adrenaline

Insulin is secreted by islets of Langerhans of the pancreas and serves to lower the blood glucose level by stimulating the uptake of glucose by cells, specifically muscle cells, liver cells and adipose tissues cells.

Adrenaline is an emergency hormone secreted by adrenal medulla under an emergency condition to prepare the body for flight or fight response. Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone which targets all tissues and stimulates metabolic rate, growth and development.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
