Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system activates the adrenal glands on the kidney to release adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) into the bloodstream. Adrenaline helps prepare the body for a "fight or flight" response by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. Insulin is released by the pancreas, growth hormone is released by the pituitary gland, and testosterone is produced by the testes (in males) and ovaries (in females). These hormones are not directly involved in the sympathetic nervous system's response.
