Statement 1- Catecholamines stimulate the breakdown of glycogen and increase blood sugar levels.
Statement 2- Catecholamines are responsible for suppressing the immune response and maintaining the cardiovascular system.
Statement 1 and statement 2 both are correct.
Statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct.
Statement 2 is incorrect and statement 1 is correct.
Both statements are incorrect.
The adrenal medulla secrete two hormones i.e., adrenaline or epinephrine and noradrenaline and norepinephrine. These hormones are also called catecholamines. Because they stimulate the breakdown of glycogen leading to an increase in the concentration of glucose in our blood. The gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis stimulate glucocorticoid under the influence of catecholamines. Hence, the correct answer is option 3 which states that Statement 2 is incorrect and Statement 1 is correct.
