Question

Which of the following is a correct statement about the endocrine system?

Answer 1

Answer;

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

Explanation;

• 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. The adrenal medulla produces hormones adrenaline also epinephrine and noradrenaline also norepinephrine.
• Hormone adrenaline rapidly responds to stress by increasing your heart rate and rushing blood to the muscles and brain.
