The normal functions of cortisol include

a. Increasing the heart rate which provides more blood and nutrients to muscle tissue so that the body is readied for action during a stress event Increasing respiratory rate which increases the oxygen available for muscle tissues so that the body is readied for action during a stress event
b. Stimulation of glucose production and release into circulation to provide a quick fuel source for muscle tissue so that the body is readied for action during a stress event
c. Enhances the function of insulin to increase the storage of glucose in tissues throughout critical physiological systems Inhibition of corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) in order to stop activation of the HPA axis and return the body to homeostasis
d. Stimulation of the release of adrenocorticophic hormone (ACTH) in order to continue the ongoing activation of the HPA axis during a stress event

Respuesta :

Stimulation of glucose production and release into circulation to provide a quick fuel source for muscle tissue so that the body is readied for action during a stress event.

Option B.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a steroid group of hormone that is secreted from the Adrenal Cortex from the zona fasciculata. It's the middle layer of Adrenal Cortex. Cortisol helps in different functions of the body that includes the suppression of immune system, increasing the blood sugar level,  gluconeogenesis, metabolism of fat, and proteins. This hormone helps in the gluconeogenesis which helps to produce glucose from non glucose sources. The primary sources include the fats and proteins and the glycogen reserve in liver and muscles. Thus increase in cortisol levels help in the retaining glucose levels in stress or hypoglycemia.
