Question

Which gland helps the body prepare for and handle stress?

Answer 1

The adrenal gland helps the body to prepare for and handle stress. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "b". The adrenal gland consists of two parts. The outer part is actually known as the adrenal cortex and the inner part is known as the adrenal medulla. The secretion from the adrenal glands helps a person deal with stressful situations. The chemical secreted by the glands are norepinephrine and catecholamines epinephrine. These secretions actually help a person deal with stress in a far better manner than it would have been actually possible.
