The Adrenal Glands
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The adrenal glands release epinephrine and cortisol, mobilizing the body's response to stress.
Show
Cortisol rises within minutes of a threat and remains elevated long after the threat has passed.
Watch for
Cortisol is not a damage signal. It is a mobilization signal whose damage comes from staying elevated.
