The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the physiological responses during an emergency, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Context**: The question asks about the physiological responses (piloerection, sweating, and dilation of pupils) during an emergency situation. 2. **Identifying the Hormones**: We need to identify which hormones are responsible for these responses. The options provided are: - Thyroxine - Insulin - Insulin and Glucagon - Catecholamines - Corticoids 3. **Recognizing Emergency Responses**: During emergencies, the body activates its "fight or flight" response, which is characterized by various physiological changes to prepare the body for action. 4. **Role of Catecholamines**: The hormones primarily responsible for these emergency responses are catecholamines, specifically epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). These hormones are secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress. 5. **Effects of Catecholamines**: When catecholamines are released, they lead to: - Increased heart rate (to pump more blood) - Sweating (to cool the body) - Piloerection (raising of hair) - Dilation of pupils (to enhance vision) 6. **Conclusion**: Given that catecholamines are the hormones responsible for the described physiological responses during emergencies, the correct answer to the question is **catecholamines** (option c). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **catecholamines**. ---
