As a result of stress the anterior pituitary releases which stimulates release of hormones from the adrenal cortex that retain sodium and water, increase blood sugar, and begin breaking down fats.
a) thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh)
b) adh
c) growth hormone
d) acth

D. ACTH

Explanation:

Under stress conditions, corticotrophs of anterior pituitary gland secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This hormone is also known as corticotropin and serves to stimulate the adrenal cortex to secrete its hormones. The glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol) from adrenal cortex serve to increase protein breakdown (except in liver). Cortisol also stimulates gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from substances other than carbohydrates and lipolysis.

Cortisol also raises blood pressure and enhances inflammation, depresses immune responses. Mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) from the adrenal cortex target kidneys to stimulate the resorption of sodium and thereby retention of water in the blood.

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.
