Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is the hormone that is released during the alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome. It activates the fight-or-flight response by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels, and by redirecting blood flow to the muscles and brain. Estrogen, angiotensinogen, and renin are not hormones that are involved in the fight-or-flight response.
