Question
Which hormone causes dilatio of blood vessels, increased oxygen consumption and glucogenesis ?
Options
A.ACTH
B.Insulin
C.Adrenalin
D.Glucagon
Solution
Adrenalin (epinephrine) is a hormone produced by adrenal medulla and is secretcd in great amounts during emotional states. It elevates the glucose lave in blood stream (by glucagonesis) which is accompanied by increase in oxygen consumption, body temperature, heat production. Adrenalin also causes an increase in the flow of blood by dilating the blood vessels.
Insulin regulates the glucose level in blood.ACTH (Adreno Corticotropic Hormone) is secreted by anterior pituitary and stimulates the adrenal cortex.
Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langrerhans of pancreas. It acts to promote glycogenolysis.
