Endocrine System: Response to Stress 1. What two body systems work together to provide well-coordinated, generalized, nonspecific responses to combat stress? _______________ and _____________ 2. In the nervous system’s response to stress, ____________ and _____________ exert many effects on the body. Choose the correct response in the pairs listed.  or CO  or  sweating  or ventilation  or  insulin  or  BP  or  blood flow to digestive system  or  plasma levels of glucose, fatty acids, etc. 3. In response to stress, the hypothalamus increases the release of CRH, which increases ________ from the anterior pituitary and ___________ from the adrenal cortex. These hormones prolong the response to stress provided by the nervous ­system. 4. Cortisol enhances ____________________ (in vessels) to help maintain blood pressure and also (increases or inhibits) the inflammation and immune response. 5. Besides cortisol, the adrenal cortex releases _______________, which promotes salt and water retention, which helps maintain blood volume and blood pressure. 6. ____________ (posterior pituitary hormone) also aids in the stress response by promoting water retention and at high levels it is also a potent _______________. Both of these hormones help maintain blood pressure. 7. _______________ is a condition in which there is hypersecretion of catecholamines by a tumor in the adrenal medulla.
