Question

Which glands help to control blood pressure in the human body?

A.

Pancreas

B.

Pituitary glands

C.

Adrenal glands

D.

Pineal gland

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) Adrenal glands

Explanation:

Adrenal glands play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure. They produce hormones like adrenaline and aldosterone.

    • Adrenaline increases heart rate and blood pressure during stress (fight-or-flight response).
    • Aldosterone helps control blood pressure by regulating sodium and water balance in the body, thus affecting blood volume and pressure.
Additional Information:
  • Pancreas: The pancreas is primarily involved in regulating blood sugar levels by releasing insulin and glucagon.
  • Pituitary glands: The pituitary gland controls various hormonal functions, including growth and reproduction.
  • Pineal gland: The pineal gland produces melatonin, which regulates sleep patterns.
