Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The local hormones are released by the nerve cells and the glands. These hormones act on the same cells as well as on the cells which are near to the location. Gastrin is the hormone which is released by the cells of the stomach and intestine acts on the cells of the stomach to release HCl. The atrial natriuretic factor is released by the cells of the heart. The hormone participates in the renin-angiotensin pathway and regulates the blood pressure. Prostaglandins are released by the damaged cells. This hormone is responsible for inducing pain and increase in the temperature in the nearby cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
