Correct choices: 2 and 3.
- Adrenal glands: Yes. They secrete epinephrine and cortisol, which raise blood glucose (glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis) during stress.
- Thyroid: Yes, indirectly. Thyroid hormones increase metabolic rate and influence carbohydrate metabolism, affecting glucose production and utilization.
- Parathyroid: No. Parathyroid glands regulate calcium and phosphate balance, not blood sugar.
(Primary regulators of blood glucose are the pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon.)
