The adrenal gland plays a critical role in short-term responses to stress by releasing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones help the body respond to stress by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy levels to deal with the perceived threat.
chemical messengers
Parasympathetic
The adrenal glands are responsible for initiating responses to stressful events by releasing stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body to prepare for a "fight or flight" response when faced with a perceived threat or danger.
peripheral and metabolic responses
Hormonal control involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream by endocrine glands to regulate body functions over a longer period of time. Neural control involves the transmission of electrical signals through the nervous system to regulate rapid responses in the body. Hormonal control is more widespread and slower, while neural control is localized and faster. Both systems work together to maintain homeostasis in the body.
