Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) are released in response to stress and increase heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration to help prepare the body for the "fight or flight" response. Corticosteroids (such as cortisol) are also released in response to stress and help increase blood sugar levels to provide energy for the body's response. In this scenario, Nora is experiencing a stressful situation and is likely experiencing a fight or flight response, so both catecholamines and corticosteroids are being pumped into her bloodstream.
