Cortisol is known as the "stress hormone" because it is released in response to stress and helps the body cope with stress by increasing blood sugar levels and suppressing the immune system. Adrenalin (A) and epinephrine (B) are both names for the same hormone, which is released in response to stress to help prepare the body for "fight or flight" response. Norepinephrine (D) is a related hormone that is also released in response to stress and works along with adrenalin/epinephrine to help prepare the body for action.
