Which of the endocrine glands below are located in the abdomen and are correctly paired with their function?
thymus: immune system; hypothalamus: growth and development
hypothalamus: immune system; thymus: growth and development
pancreas: blood glucose levels; adrenal: emergency response
pancreas: emergency response; adrenal: blood glucose levels

The correct answer would be Pancreas: blood glucose levels; adrenal: emergency response.

The pancreas is a gland located in the abdomen. It can act as exocrine as well as an endocrine gland. The alpha and beta cells of pancreatic islets release insulin and glucagon respectively. They both help in maintaining the blood glucose levels. Insulin helps in lowering the blood glucose level whereas the glucagon helps in increasing the blood glucose level.

Pair of the adrenal gland is located above kidneys. They release adrenaline, aldosterone, and cortisol. They prepare the body for fear, fight and flight conditions.
