The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which hormone injected will provide relief to an asthma patient in exhaling air, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Condition**: The question mentions an asthma patient who is having difficulty exhaling air. Asthma is characterized by constricted airways, making it hard to breathe. 2. **Understand Hormonal Functions**: We need to consider the functions of the hormones listed: oxytocin, adrenaline, insulin, and thyroxine. - **Oxytocin**: Known as the "love hormone," primarily involved in childbirth and social bonding. - **Insulin**: Produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels. - **Thyroxine**: Produced by the thyroid gland, regulates metabolism. - **Adrenaline (Epinephrine)**: Secreted by the adrenal glands, plays a crucial role in the body’s fight-or-flight response. 3. **Focus on Adrenaline**: Adrenaline is known to act as a bronchodilator, meaning it relaxes the muscles in the airways and opens them up, allowing for easier breathing. This makes it particularly effective for asthma patients during an asthma attack. 4. **Conclusion**: Given that adrenaline is the hormone that helps to dilate the bronchi and relieve breathing difficulties, it is the correct choice for the hormonal shot administered to the asthma patient. ### Final Answer: The hormone injected will be **adrenaline**. ---
