The "Fight or Flight" response Which branch of the autonomic nervous system stimulates release of catecholamines from the adrenal gland? What neurotransmitter is used by the neurons of this branch to stimulate the adrenal gland? How are epinephrine and norepinephrine able to act so quickly to elicit the "fight flight" response?

Endocrine systems are critical in your response to stress. Which one of the following does NOT occur as a response to stress? [2 marks] A) Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) activates the adrenal medulla to secrete adrenaline and noradrenaline B) Glucocorticoids break down protein and fat in an attempt to increase blood glucose levels C) The long-term response to stress is mediated by the adrenal cortex D) Mineralocorticoids increase blood volume and blood pressure E) Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) activates the anterior pituitary to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
