The adrenal glands have a rich blood supply and experience one of the highest rates of blood flow in the body. They are served by several arteries branching off the aorta, including the suprarenal and renal arteries. Blood flows to each adrenal gland at the adrenal cortex and then drains into the adrenal medulla.

It explains the brain's interpretation of stress, outlining how the sympathetic response prepares the body for "fight, flight, or freeze" actions. It also covers the effects of chronic stress on health, highlighting the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary response.

It highlights negative feedback loops that inhibit hormone secretion, such as in glucocorticoid regulation, and positive feedback loops that enhance secretion, exemplified by oxytocin during childbirth. Hormonal responses are initiated by humoral and neural stimuli, including ADH for dehydration and stress-induced catecholamine release.

COPD is characterized by airway inflammation, commonly linked to smoking, with notable symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and mucous production.
