Cortisol and adrenaline are both stress hormones released by the adrenal glands {fact:4, fact:9} to facilitate the body's 'fight-or-flight' response {fact:5, fact:10, fact:11}. They are coordinated by the neuroendocrine system {fact:2, fact:3} to regulate physiological changes during stress {fact:1, fact:6, fact:7} and play roles in other bodily processes like sleep-wake regulation [1] and homeostatic adaptation [2].

claimThe endocrine system and the nervous system interact through the hypothalamus, which signals the release of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline during stress to facilitate both quick nerve-based responses and prolonged hormonal effects.
claimThe nervous system and endocrine system form the neuroendocrine connection, where the nervous system prompts the adrenal glands to release cortisol and adrenaline during stress.
claimThe adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and handle stress responses by producing cortisol and adrenaline to prepare the body for fight-or-flight situations.
claimDuring a stress response, the nervous system detects danger and signals the endocrine system to release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which travel through the circulatory system to trigger physiological changes.
