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)
