A group of hormones that are released when we are stressed are called glucocorticoids.  These glucocorticoids remain in the blood for a significant time after the stressor is removed.  Put a person under chronic stress and they will have constantly high amounts of glucocorticoids in their blood.

The glucocorticoids initiate the release of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) which is a key player in our stress response.  They also increase our cravings for sugary foods and they also act directly on increasing abdominal fat storage

The digestive tract is one long sac that extends from the mouth to the anus. True or false
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

The alimentary canal is the long tube of organs — including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines — that runs from the mouth to the anus. An adult's digestive tract is about 30 feet (about 9 meters) long.

The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.
