Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter released by the sympathetic nervous system during the fight or flight response, which activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) pathway leading to the release of corticosteroids such as cortisol. Therefore, norepinephrine and corticosteroids are both involved in the body's response to stress, but through different pathways.
