Model Answer

Adrenaline prepares the squirrel's body for fight or flight; it is secreted by the adrenal glands.

Explanation

This is a direct fact-recall question. Examiners expect both pieces of information — the hormone name and the gland — in a single line. Missing either loses the mark. Note the spelling: adrenaline, not "andrenaline." The adrenal glands sit atop the kidneys; knowing their location helps you remember the name.
