Question

During a stressful interval, ________. During a stressful interval, ________. the posterior pituitary gland secretes more growth hormones adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex, and neurons of the sympathetic nervous system stimulate the adrenal medulla thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the adrenal cortex and medulla to secrete acetylcholine the alpha cells of islets secrete insulin and simultaneously the beta cells of the islets secrete glucagon the calcium levels in the blood are increased due to actions of two antagonistic hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine

Answer 1

Answer:

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex, and neurons of the sympathetic nervous system stimulate the adrenal medulla.

Explanation:

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body and maintain the body's homeostasis in different adverse conditions. The hormones work by the feedback regulation system.

To overcome from the stress condition the body releases the hormone known as epinephrine. The receptors sense the stressful condition and adrenal cortex is stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone that results in the release of adrenaline hormone. The hormone activates the sympathetic nervous system of the body to cope with the fight and flight conditions.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
