Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cortisol is known as the "stress hormone" because it is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress and helps the body to respond to it. Adrenalin (A) and epinephrine (B) are alternative names for the hormone known as adrenaline, which is involved in the "fight or flight" response. Norepinephrine (D) is also involved in the stress response, but it is not typically referred to as the "stress hormone."
