Explanation

The stress response is coordinated by the hypothalamus and pituitary and involves the adrenal glands. They release signals or hormones such as ACTH, epinephrine, and cortisol into the blood. The pancreas releases hormones such as insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar, but it is not one of the glands identified as releasing hormones in the stress response here.
