Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corticosteroids, such as cortisol, are released by the adrenal gland in response to stress and help the body to resist stress by releasing stored nutrients for energy use. CRH (choice A) and ACTH (choice B) are hormones involved in the regulation of the adrenal gland's release of cortisol, but they do not directly aid in nutrient release. Adrenaline (choice C) is another hormone released in response to stress, but its primary function is to increase heart rate and blood pressure, rather than aid in nutrient mobilization.
