Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are hormones released by the adrenal gland in response to stress, preparing the body for a fight or flight response. They increase heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, and mobilize energy stores to provide a burst of energy to deal with short-term stress. Cortisol, on the other hand, is a long-term stress hormone that helps the body cope with chronic stress by increasing blood sugar levels and suppressing the immune system, among other effects. Calcitonin and thyroid hormones are not directly involved in the stress response.
