Answer 1

Hormones are the chemical messengers present in our body that are secreted directly into the blood by endocrine glands. The blood carries these organs to various parts of the body to exert their particular functions. These are many types of hormones that help us to perform various activities and processes.

Step by step answer: Thyroxin is the hormone released by the thyroid gland and helps in regulating the metabolism of the body.
-Oxytocin on other hand is a hormone that is released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland which is a pea-sized structure present on the base of the brain. Oxytocin is also referred to as a cuddle or love hormone of the body.
-Melatonin is released by the pineal gland of the body which also regulates the sleep-wake cycle of the body.
-Adrenalin is produced by the adrenal gland and other small neurons present in medulla oblongata which functions as a neurotransmitter that regulates visceral functions. The hormones of fright, fight and flight is called adrenaline as it defends, offends, or run away from a threatening situation. This hormone is very necessary for our body and is considered an important part of the body.
Hence, the correct option is C. Adrenalin and Non-adrenalin.

Note: Adrenaline helps to increase the blood flow in our muscles, pupil dilation response, output of the heart, and blood sugar level of the body. It binds to alpha and beta receptors in order to increase the flow of blood. Adrenaline is also known as epinephrine.
