| Testosterone | ii. The decrease in blood pressure |
| Glucagon | iii. Breakdown of liver glycogen |
| Atrial natriuretic factor | iv. Increases heartbeat |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Epinephrine - These increase alertness, pupillary dilation, piloerection (raising of hairs), sweating etc. Both hormones increase the heartbeat, strength of heart contraction and the rate of respiration.
Testosterone - It is responsible for the muscular growth, aggressiveness, development of facial and axillary hair, low pitch of voice, etc.

Stimulating the process of gluconeogenesis.
Reducing the cellular glucose uptake and utilisation.
Atrial natriuretic factor - ANF is a peptide hormone secreted from the atrial wall. Increase in blood pressureRelease of ANFDilation of the blood vesselsDecrease in blood pressure.
