Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged stress activates the sympathetic nervous system and the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, leading to the release of several stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and neuropeptide Y. Neuropeptide Y is released from both sympathetic neurons and the adrenal gland and plays a role in regulating the body's stress response.
