Which of the following is a correct statement about the endocrine system?
Gnesinka [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and release adrenaline, which affects heart rate.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Adrenal glands are located at the top of each kidney. They produce hormones that help the body control blood sugar, burn protein and fat, react to stressors like a major illness or injury, and regulate blood pressure.
  • The Adrenal glands are made up of two regions; the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. <em><u>The adrenal medulla produces hormones adrenaline also epinephrine and noradrenaline also norepinephrine. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Hormone adrenaline rapidly responds to stress by increasing your heart rate and rushing blood to the muscles and brain.</u></em>
