Question

Bo turned left at an intersection and was nearly hit by an oncoming car. As he drove away from the intersection, neurotransmitters in his hypothalamus were released, triggering his pituitary gland to release _____. He began to perspire and he felt his heartbeat racing.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxytocin and vasopressin

Explanation:

It should be understood that the neurohormones in most mammals include oxytocin and vasopressin. And these two neurohormones are produced in the hypothalamic region of the brain and secreted into the blood by the neurohypophysis, which is part of the pituitary gland.

In this case, the neurohormone will help him to settle down after escaping an accident.
