Answer:

By increasing blood glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid levels

Explanation:

Cortisol, corticosterone, and cortisone are the glucocorticoids released by the adrenal cortex and serve to impart resistance to stress. These hormones stimulate protein breakdown (mainly in muscle cells), gluconeogenesis and lipolysis and thereby increase the concentration of amino acids, glucose and fatty acids in blood.

The amino acids are used by cells for synthesis of new proteins or for synthesis of ATP. Glucose is also used by cells to produce ATPs.

Glucocorticorticoids increase the sensitivity of blood vessels for hormones which in turn stimulate their constriction. The vasoconstriction raises blood pressure. The process of vasoconstriction resumes the normal range of blood pressure which is otherwise dropped by some emergency conditions such as injury and severe loss of blood.

In animals, carbon dioxide waste is exchanged for
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

oxygen

Explanation:

  • Through the process of respiration , in lung the carbon dioxide from the blood is exchanged with oxygen.
  • The smallest dunctional unit if the lung is the alveoli
  • At this level the gases are exchange through the capillaries present close to the alveoli.
  • The concentration gradient ,meaning the greater amount of oxygen present in the lungs and greater amount of carbon dioxide in the blood creates a gradient that allow the movment of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide in the alveoli through the membrane .
  • Partial pressure created allows the easy movement .The carbon dioxide get into the trachea and expelled through nose and mouth.
