But read alarm reaction... it says "stress hormones are released" and then in resistance it says the same thing!

I'm pretty sure it's countershock, because cortisol is usually released when adrenaline and noradrenaline are (according to HPA axis anyway), and cortisol increases metabolism and concentration of glucose to allow mobilisation of body and muscles (or something along the lines of that)... so it makes sense for it to be released in countershock when the fight-flight response is activated and the body is ready to deal with the stessor..
During resistance, cortisol continues to be released into the bloodstream
I could be wrong though  :o

I know probably this is the wrong thread for this as you guys seem to be just as confused..but can anyone clarify this cortisol thing once and for all?
My understanding is that during countershock, stress hormones are released due to the activation of the sym. nervous system, and then during resistance, adrenaline and cortisol, amongst other hormones, continue to be released as they support resistance?
That does make a lot of sense but I really need it be confirmed somewhere.

That makes sense!
Ahh, I'm confused though. I just checked my practice exam and I chose C, but the teacher said it was B.
I've e-mailed her, let's see what she says!

Let us know what she says! (I chose B but I'm not sure why and I want to know why NEAP say it is B)

Cortisol is officially released in countershock but you are right in our textbook it says resistance and on last year's exam they marked it as resistance. So just stick to resistance.

Boooo. How annoying!
