Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When under stress, the adrenal glands release the hormone cortisol, which helps the body to mount a stress response. In this situation, Gordon's response to the angry dog would likely trigger an increase in cortisol production. Serotonin, estrogen, and progesterone are not directly involved in the body's stress response.
