Question

19. A person travelling in a Boeing aeroplane suddenly
hears an announcement that there is a technical
fault in the plane and there would be an
emergency landing. Which of the following is likely
to happen to his neurohormonal control system?
(a) Neurotransmitters become active and start
transmitting nerve impulses rapidly
(b) The hypothalamus activates the pituitary by a
feedback mechanism
(C) Sympathetic nervous system is activated and adrenal
medulla secretes the hormones epinephrine and
norepinephrine
(d) Sympathetic nervous system is activated and adrenal
cortex secretes the hormones epinephrine and
norepinephrine.​

Answer 1

Answer:

An emergency landing is a prioritised landing made by an aircraft in response to an emergency containing an imminent or ongoing threat to the safety and operation of the aircraft or involving a sudden need for a passenger or crew on board to be on land, such as a medical emergency.

It is usually a forced diversion to the nearest or most suitable airport or airbase, in which air traffic control must prioritise and give way immediately upon the declaration of the emergency.

Answer 2

c)

Because it's an emergency situation dealing with life and death. Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a flight hormone which rapidly increases blood glucose to give an energy boost in order to deal with such situations.
