Identify the hormones that are released from the adrenal cortex and are involved in stress response. (Select all that apply)

A. Oculomotor nerve (CN III):This is a motornerve responsible for controlling most of the eye's movements (extraocular muscles) and pupil constriction, not the sensation of sight.

B. Optic nerve (CN II):The Optic nerve is a purely sensorynerve. It carries electrical impulses generated by light hitting the retina directly to the visual cortex in the brain for interpretation as images.

C. Trochlear nerve (CN IV):This is a motor nerve responsible for innervating the superior oblique muscle, which moves the eye downward and inward.

D. Trigeminal nerve (CN V):This is a mixed nerve primarily responsible for facial sensation (touch, pain) and the motor function of chewing (mastication).

A. Epinephrine: Epinephrine is produced by the adrenal medulla, not the cortex.

B. Testosterone: Partially correct physiologically, because the adrenal cortex secretes androgens, but testosterone is mainly produced by the testes. It is not a major adrenal cortex hormone involved in stress response.

C. Thyroxine: Thyroxine is produced by the thyroid gland, not the adrenal cortex.

D. Norepinephrine: Produced by the adrenal medulla, not the cortex.

E. Aldosterone: A mineralocorticoid from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone helps maintain blood pressure and volume during stress by increasing sodium and water retention.

F. Cortisol: A glucocorticoid from the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is the primary stress hormone-it regulates metabolism, suppresses inflammation, and helps the body adapt to stress.

G. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): ACTH is released by the anterior pituitary, not the adrenal cortex. It stimulates the cortex but is not a hormone released from it.
