Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which one is NOT the effect of the release of adrenaline on the heart rate, glucose concentration and pupil
A
heart rate increased
B
glucose concentration increased
C
glucose concentration decreased
D
pupil dilates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adrenaline makes your heart beat faster and your lungs breathe more efficiently. It causes the blood vessels to send more blood to the brain and muscles, increases your blood pressure, makes your brain more alert, and raises sugar levels in the blood to give you energy. Your pupils grow larger and you sweat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epinephrine causes a prompt increase in blood glucose concentration in the postabsorptive state.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenaline triggers the body’s fight-or-flight response. This reaction causes air passages to dilate to provide the muscles with the oxygen they need to either fight danger or flee. Adrenaline also triggers the blood vessels to contract to re-direct blood toward major muscle groups, including the heart and lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, an additional and important action of adrenaline is to increase plasma glucose by promoting glycogenolysis in the liver and skeletal muscle, liver gluconeogenesis and reduction of glucose uptake by tissues such as skeletal muscle via activation of 1‐ and 2‐adrenoceptors (Moratinos et al., 1986).
