The adrenal glands are chiefly responsible for the stress response in the body; however, the hypothalamus plays a role because it causes the pituitary gland to secrete hormones that travel to the adrenal glands initiating the stress response within the body. The adrenal gland is also known as emergency gland and releases more adrenaline under stress.
