Question

which hormone is responsible for the signs of heat in a female animal?

a. progesterone
b. oxytocin
c. oestrogen
d. follicle stimulating hormone

the adrenal glands are divided into 2 parts, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. which hormone does the adrenal medulla produce?

a. adrenaline
b. aldosterone
c. cortisol
d. adrenocorticotrophic hormone

Explanation:

Identify hormone responsible for heat

The signs of behavioral and physiological "heat" (estrus) in female animals are driven by Ovarian Hormones produced by developing ovarian follicles. Specifically, estrogen (oestrogen) acts on the brain to induce estrus behavior and prepares the reproductive tract for mating.

Identify hormone produced by adrenal medulla

The adrenal gland is divided into the outer cortex and the inner medulla, which is a key component of Adrenal Gland Function. The adrenal medulla is responsible for secreting catecholamines in response to sympathetic stimulation. Among the choices, adrenaline (epinephrine) is synthesized and released by the medulla, whereas aldosterone and cortisol are cortical hormones, and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) is a pituitary hormone.
