Question

choose the type of hormone that is described below. increases sugar in the blood speeds up the heart beating only found in females not released during stress helps prepare your body for action by affecting the heart narrows arteries to increase blood pressure

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each description and match it to the correct hormone (assuming common hormones like adrenaline, cortisol, estrogen, etc.):

1. Increases sugar in the blood

• Hormones like glucagon or cortisol (or adrenaline) increase blood sugar. For this, a common match is glucagon (or adrenaline, but glucagon is primary for blood sugar elevation).

2. Speeds up the heart beating

• Adrenaline (epinephrine) increases heart rate during stress/fight-or-flight.

3. Only found in females

• Estrogen is a female-dominant hormone (present in males too, but more prominent in females).

4. Not released during stress

• Hormones like insulin (released for blood sugar regulation, not stress) or reproductive hormones (e.g., progesterone) that aren’t stress-related. Insulin is a strong candidate.

5. Helps prepare your body for action by affecting the heart

• Adrenaline (epinephrine) primes the body for action (fight-or-flight) by increasing heart rate, blood flow, etc.

6. Narrows arteries to increase blood pressure

• Norepinephrine (or adrenaline) causes vasoconstriction (narrowing arteries) to raise blood pressure.

Final Matches (assuming standard hormone knowledge):

• Increases sugar in the blood: Glucagon (or Cortisol/Adrenaline)
• Speeds up the heart beating: Adrenaline (Epinephrine)
• Only found in females: Estrogen
• Not released during stress: Insulin (or Progesterone)
• Helps prepare your body for action by affecting the heart: Adrenaline (Epinephrine)
• Narrows arteries to increase blood pressure: Norepinephrine (or Adrenaline)

(Note: If dropdown options include specific hormones like “Adrenaline,” “Estrogen,” “Insulin,” “Glucagon,” etc., select the best fit for each description.)

Example Answers (if options are typical):

1. Increases sugar in the blood: Glucagon (or Adrenaline)
2. Speeds up the heart beating: Adrenaline
3. Only found in females: Estrogen
4. Not released during stress: Insulin
5. Helps prepare your body for action by affecting the heart: Adrenaline
6. Narrows arteries to increase blood pressure: Norepinephrine (or Adrenaline)

If the problem expects selecting from a list (e.g., dropdowns with options like Adrenaline, Estrogen, Insulin, Glucagon, etc.), use the above logic to match each description to the hormone.
