Answer to Problem 28A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (D) norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (D) norepinephrine and epinephrine. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the hormones that are produced by the adrenal gland and also by the nerve cells, therefore, they are the neurohormones. The hormone is produced by the nerves and released to the bloodstream to continue the function. So, the correct answer is option (D).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (A) Antiduiretic hormones and oxytocin. Oxytocin is a neurohormone but Antiduiretic is not a neurohormone. Antidiuretic hormone is produced by the hypothalamus gland. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (B) growth hormone and thyroxine. Thyroxine is a neurohormone that is produced in nerves and releases to the blood but the growth hormone is secreted by the adrenal gland. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (C) insulin and glucagon. Insulin and glucagon are hormones produced by the pancreas gland, they are not neurohormones. So, this is an incorrect answer.
