Which two hormones are released by the adrenal glands as part of the body’s response to threat or stress?

During stress, the adrenal glands release epinephrine, which helps trigger the rapid “fight-or-flight” response, and cortisol, which supports the body’s longer-lasting stress response. Insulin is mainly released by the pancreas, while thyroxin is released by the thyroid gland. So the correct choice is epinephrine and cortisol.
