Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation for correct option: The adrenal medulla secretes two emergency hormones: epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline and noradrenaline). They’re also known as “fight” or “flight” hormones. In an emergency or in response to stress, these are rapidly secreted.
Detailed explanation-2: -The adrenal medulla, the inner part of an adrenal gland, controls hormones that initiate the flight or fight response. The main hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla include epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), which have similar functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenaline, a hormone your adrenal glands produce, has a purpose. It helps you face dangerous situations by causing temporary changes in your body. Your heartbeats and breathing get faster as part of the “fight or flight” response.
