Match the following to the number above a) ________: returns the sodium ion concentration in the blood back to normal after sweating.   b) ________: Decreased secretion leads to an excessive amount of urine.   c) _________: Stimulates the release of the hormone responsible for increases in blood sugar.   d) ________: Excessive secretion leads to weight loss.

Match the adrenal hormones with their source and actions. (1) cortisol (2) aldosterone (3) epinephrine A. cortex; sodium retention B. cortex; fatty acid release C. medulla; fight-or-flight response

If a patient is hypoglycemic, which of the following physiological processes will occur in an attempt to correct this situation?  A). ACTH will be released by the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal gland, B).glucocorticoid will be released by the adrenal cortex and increase serum glucose levels, C). mineralcorticoids will be released by the adrenal cortex and potentiate catecholamine effects, D). epinephrine will be secreted by the adrenal cortex in an attempt to increase blood serum glucose levels.
