Choice A is incorrect because the parathyroid glands are involved in calcium regulation, not fight-or-flight responses. Choice B is incorrect because the thyroid gland is involved in metabolism and not fight-or-flight responses. Choice C is incorrect because the anterior pituitary gland is involved in the regulation of other hormones, not fight-or-flight responses. Choice E is incorrect because the pancreas is involved in sugar regulation, not fight-or-flight responses.
