What hormone does the brain directly secrete in order to regulate the stress response pathway?

Some patients have to take prednisone (synthetic version of cortisol) to treat their condition or disease. These patients will be more at risk of    while taking their prescription prednisone, Also, based on the actions of cortisol, it is reported that prednisone bone repair, remodeling, and formation. Topical hydrocortisone (a chemical form of cortisol) cream is often used by patients since cortisol is able to .   A recent study examined German army soldiers that were deployed to a war zone and then they examined cortisol levels and also evaluated PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) related symptoms in the soldiers. HIGHER risk of PTSD and related symptoms was associated with . Finally, studies of breast fed human infants and increased grooming of rodent pups has shown that increased maternal care is associated with .  

Which pair of heart valves are considered part of the ventricular outflow tracts since blood exits the heart through these valves during the cardiac cycle?

Calculate the correct cardiac output from the left ventricle given that the heart is beating 80 times per minute; blood pressure is 116/64mmHg; the ventricle is filling with 150 ml of blood during diastole and 70 ml of blood remains in the ventricle at the end of systole. Respiratory rate is 20 breaths per minute. Tidal volume is 200 ml/breath.

The images above show the typical pacemaker cell action potential compared to a ventricular myocyte action potential. Describe the specific ion channels at work in each of the cells during: Phase 4 of the pacemaker cell compared to the ventricular myocyte Phase 0 of the pacemaker cell compared to the ventricular myocyte Phase 2 of the ventricular myocyte Phase 3 of the pacemaker cell compared to the ventricular myocyte  

Which part of the brain is the direct link between the nervous system and the endocrine system based on its anatomical location and known functions?

Contraction of a ventricular myocyte requires calcium to bind to which then leads to binding to and then pulling the proteins of the thin filaments of the sarcomere
