A. It causes pupillary constriction.
B. It is a hyperglycemic hormone.
C. It causes piloerection.
D. It increases the strength of heart contraction.

C. It causes piloerection.
D. It increases the strength of heart contraction.
Show Hint
Adrenal medulla = Fight or flight = Increased heart rate, glucose, piloerection.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline and noradrenaline). These hormones prepare the body for "fight or flight" responses. They increase heart rate and contraction strength (D), stimulate glucose release from the liver (hyperglycemic effect - B), and cause piloerection (hair standing on end - C). They cause pupillary dilation, not constriction (A).

- A balloon is made of a material of surface tension S and has a small outlet. It is filled with air of density \( \rho \). Initially the balloon is a sphere of radius R. When the gas is allowed to flow out slowly at a constant rate, its radius shrinks as \( r(t) \). Assume that the pressure inside the balloon is \( P(r) \) and is more than the outside pressure (\( P_0 \)) by an amount proportional to the surface tension and inversely proportional to the radius. The balloon bursts when its radius reaches \( r_0 \). Then the speed of gas coming out of the balloon at \( r = R \) is :
