Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine is commonly known as adrenaline and is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress or danger. It acts as a general reinforcer of sympathetic activity, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.

Answer: D 
 Cortisol is a steroid hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It has multiple functions, but one of its main roles is to increase blood sugar levels, which is a sympathetic response.

Answer: G 
 Glucagon is produced by the pancreas and acts to increase blood sugar levels. It is released in response to low blood sugar levels and is a sympathetic hormone.

Answer: H 
 Insulin is produced by the pancreas and acts to lower blood sugar levels. It is released in response to high blood sugar levels and is a parasympathetic hormone. It does not match the characteristic of being a general reinforcer of sympathetic activity.
