Consider the following statements regarding function of adrenal medullary hormones :
(A) It causes pupilary constriction.
(B) It is a hyperglycemic hormone.
(C) It causes piloerection.
(D) It increases strength of heart contraction.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A C and D only
- B B, C and D only
- C A, C and D only
- D D only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) B, C and D only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Adrenal medulla secretes two hormones called adrenaline or epinephrine and noradrenaline or norepinephrine (also called emergency hormones).
Both the hormones -
- Cause pupillary dilation (not constriction)
- Stimulate breakdown of glycogen resulting in increased concentration of glucose in blood i.e., cause hyperglycemia.
- Cause piloerection (raising of hair).
- Increase strength of heart contraction i.e., heartbeat.
