James was walking down the road when a large animal jumped out in front of him. James was startled and experienced a fast heart

rate and heavy breathing. Which statement best describes James’s condition in such a situation?
The adrenal gland secreted aldosterone, increasing sodium absorption, which increased the heart rate and breathing.


The adrenal gland secreted epinephrine, increasing blood pressure, which increased the heart rate and breathing.


The adrenal gland secreted androgens, stimulating calcium absorption, which increased the heart rate and breathing.


The adrenal gland secreted cortisol, increasing glucose absorption, which increased the heart rate and breathing.

Answer:

Option (2).

Explanation:

Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline. This hormone is released by the adrenal gland in the fight and flight conditions. The sympathetic nervous system of the brain maintains the fight and flight conditions of the body.

James body is in fight and flight condition when he saw that large animals jump in front of him. This condition causes the release of epinephrine hormone. The release of epinephrine in blood increases the blood pressure of the body. The heart rate and breathing also increases in this condition.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

An experiment that is most appropriate to prove the hypothesis that it rains more in the month of April than in the month of Mar
timurjin [86]

4. Collect and measure the amount of rain in March and in April

Explanation - Rainfall can be measured by instruments like rain gauge. But in case rain gauge is not available then the rain water can be collected in a vessel having funnel at the top.

Measuring the amount of water falling each day in the month of march and april would give the idea about which month has more rainfall. The measurement might not be accurate but it gives a brief idea about how much centimeter of rain is occurring in both the months.

Beta adrenergic receptor-blocking drugs are often called beta-blockers. These drugs prevent the hormone epinephrine from binding
anastassius [24]

All the steps of GPCR signaling would be prevented in the presence of a beta-blocker drug.

<h3>What is Beta-blocker?</h3>

Beta-blocker may be defined as a kind of medication that chokes the activity of substances, such as adrenaline, on nerve cells and provokes blood vessels to relax and dilate.

Adrenergic receptors choke the attachment of catecholamine that is epinephrine to the G-protein. G-protein activates adenylyl cyclase which in turn activates protein kinase A.

But when the beta-blocker drug is subjected to this pathway, it blocks the attachment of the hormone to their receptors, hence none of the pathway or steps would be carried forward. This is because signaling is not initiated.

Therefore, all the steps of GPCR signaling would be prevented in the presence of a beta-blocker drug.
