Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the fight-or-flight response, the adrenal glands release the hormones cortisol and epinephrine (also known as adrenaline). These hormones increase heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolic rate, preparing the body for physical activity in response to a perceived threat. Glucagon is a hormone released by the pancreas that increases blood glucose levels, while insulin lowers blood glucose levels. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect.
