Question

Which of the following statements is correct about the adrenaline hormone?

• A. It relaxes muscles.
• B. It releases more starch from the liver.
• C. It slows down the rate of breathing.
• D. It increases blood pressure.

Answer 1

The correct option is D It increases blood pressure.

Adrenaline increases heart beat and leads to an increase in blood pressure. It results in the release of more glucose into the blood from the liver.
The hormone sends a tense signal to the muscles and makes them ready for immediate action.
Adrenaline causes faster and deeper breathing, resulting in increased oxygenation of the blood and rapid removal of carbon dioxide.
