During emergency which of the following hormone is secreted?

During emergency which of the following hormone is secreted?

Options

  1. AAldosterone
  2. BThyroxine
  3. CAdrenalin
  4. DCalcitonin

Correct answer

C. Adrenalin

Step-by-step solution

Adrenalin (epinephrine) is secreted by Chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla. The secretion of adrenalin is directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system, but not under the control of pituitary. Adrenalin is also called 'emergency hormone' because it contributes the fright, fight or flight reactions' which occur in condition of emergency. Increase in emotional disturbance increases the secretion of adrenalin, accelerating the rate of respiration, dilating respiratory passage, increasing blood pressure, heart beat, sugar level and stimulating cellular metabolism.Aldosterone, is a mineralocorticoid or salt retaining hormone secreted by adrenal cortex. Its basic funtion is in conservation of sodium and water and dimination of potassium.Thyroxine (tri-iodothyronine) is manufactured in thyroid gland and is synthesized from iodine. Its main function is to control metabolism, regulating tissue growth and development.Calcitonin orThyrocalcitonin (TCT) is a non-iodized hormone, secreted by parafollicular cells of thyroid. Its main role is to lower the amount of calcium and phosphate in the blood.
