Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The release of norepinephrine promotes arousal, increased vigilance, increased anxiety, and other protective emotional responses. Epinephrine's effects are primarily on the cardiovascular system. Cortisol's chief effects involve metabolic processes. By inhibiting the use of metabolic substances while promoting their formation, cortisol mobilizes glucose, amino acids, lipids, and fatty acids and delivers them to the bloodstream. ACTH binds with specific receptors on the adrenal glands which causes the release of the glucocorticoids.
