Question:
Consider the following statements regarding the function of adrenal medullary hormones:
A. It causes pupillary constriction.
B. It is a hyperglycemic hormone.
C. It causes piloerection.
D. It increases the strength of heart contraction.

A. It causes pupillary constriction.
B. It is a hyperglycemic hormone.
C. It causes piloerection.
D. It increases the strength of heart contraction.
Show Hint
Adrenal medulla = Fight or flight = Increased heart rate, glucose, piloerection.

Verified By Collegedunia
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).

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
