Answer:

  • glucagon
  • epinephrine
  • cortisol
  • growth hormone

Explanation:

Hypoglycemia is a dizzying drop in blood sugar levels. When this occurs, symptoms such as dizziness, pallor and mental confusion arise. This problem is more common in patients with diabetes due to blood glucose fluctuation, but can also occur in completely healthy individuals who have spent several hours without eating.

During a hypoglycemic crisis, the patient should have a glass of orange juice, or non-diet soda, or half a glass of water sweetened with a sugar spoon, or suck on candy to replenish glucose levels. In addition, the body itself attempts to combat hypoglycemia by releasing the hormones glucagon, epinephrine, cortisol and growth hormone.

The Peace Corps health organization aims to improve people's lives by educating them on topics that they normally wouldn't know about.

Peace Corps Volunteers engage in grassroots activism to bring about change that endures after their service. As a volunteer, you may invest in the world one handshake, one project, and one friendship at a time, opening up new opportunities both while serving and once you return home.

The Peace Corps does not discriminate against job applicants or employees based on race, color, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retribution, or parenting status.

Only a third of applicants to the Peace Corps is really accepted, according to a widely cited figure. This is a little deceptive; a more fair claim would be that "one-third of candidates actually finish the application procedure."
