Epinephrine acts on the SA node and accelerates the heart rate. Oxytocin stimulates the contraction of smooth muscles. Insulin acts mainly on the hepatocytes and the adipocytes. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells while LH acts on the Leydig cells.

Gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis means
1 Synthesis of glucose and breakdown of lipids and proteins
2 Synthesis of glucose, lipids and proteins
3 Breakdown of glucose, lipids and proteins
4 None of the above
Explanation:
Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones secreted by zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex. The hormones are involved in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. These function in gluconeogenesis or synthesis of glucose from sources other than carbohydrates, breakdown of fats (lipolysis) and proteolysis (formation of amino acids from proteins).

The figure below shows the structure of an endocrine gland with two parts labelled A and B. Select the option that correctly identifies a part along with its function.
1 A: Adrenal medulla -Brings about fight or flight response
2 B: Adrenal cortex - Secretes corticosteroids
3 A: Adrenal cortex - Secretes corticoids
4 B: Adrenal medulla -Secretes two protein hormones
Explanation:
The gland shown in the picture is the adrenal gland. 'A' represents the adrenal cortex whereas ' \(\mathrm{B}\) ' represents the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex produces steroid hormones called corticoids. The adrenal medulla produces epinephrine and norepinephrine which are amino acid derivatives.

Adrenal gland is present in the
1 Anterior side of each kidney
2 Dorsal side of each kidney
3 Posterior side of each kidney
4 Ventral side of each kidney
Explanation:
Our body has one pair of adrenal glands, one at the anterior part of each kidney
