Our body's somatic nervous system (the one that controls involuntary movements) has two branches: the SYMPATHETIC nervous system and the PARASYMPATHETIC nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is the one that kicks in when you're stressed. Releasing the two hormones mentioned above, a number of things happen to your body: heart rate increases, blood pressure increases, etc.

Released in response to stressors?
ephinephrine
What hormones stimulates the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids that help the body to resist stressors?
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Are hormones secreted in large or small amounts Are they secreted constantly or only based on the bodies demands Are their responses longer and faster or shorter and slower than the nervous system?
Hormones have a wide variety of actions, over a range of concentrations and of varying periods of time. Typically hormones provide a slower response to a stimulus than a nervous response. many hormones require a trigger that has a nervous response. most hormones act over a longer time period, these time periods are not measured in milliseconds as are nervous responses. Hormones are released when required, this means that they can be secreted over prolonged periods of time - for example the growth hormones and sex hormones. or only when needed such as the case for insulin or adrenalin (epinephrine).
What is The physical or mental demands that cause stress are called?

Why is the body's response during the first stage of stress called the fight-or-fight response?
blood pressure increases hormones are released
Why is the body's response during the first stage of stress called the flight-or-flight response?
blood pressure increases hormones are released
What hormones are released in response to excessive blood loss?
Epinephrine by adrenal glands to stimulate vasoconstriction
What occurs in your body during the alarm stage of stress response?
Hormones are released, blood pressure increases
What occurs in the body during the alarm stage of the stress response?
Hormones are released, blood pressure increases
What hormones stimulates the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids that help the body to resist stressors?
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.
What causes flushing?
Flushing is blood vessels near the skin filling with blood. This is usually in response to some stimuli such as being embarrassed. It is a response to hormones being released into the bloodstream.
