Question
Chapter 25, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which stressful lifestyle can lead to heart attacks and the hormone that is released due to long-term stress.
Introduction:
The glands that release hormones in the bloodstream are termed as an endocrine gland. The adrenal gland is a type of endocrine gland that is present at the top of kidneys. The adrenal gland has two regions. These are adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex. The hormones released by these two portions respond to stress. The people who face long-term stress are at higher risk of heart attacks.

What is the physiological explanation for the negative effects of prolonged stress on health? Talk about stress hormone.
When we perceive a stressful event or situation, our brain enhances our initial stress response by activating the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Which of the following does NOT occur as part of the HPA pathway?
A) The hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system by stimulating the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and norepinephrine.
B) The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH).
C) The pituitary gland releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
D) The adrenal cortex releases glucocorticoid hormones into the bloodstream.
What is a hormone? What is the function of a hormone? How is the presence of a hormone detected by its target?
