Glands that respond to rising androgen levels are the what glands?
According to my text book, "The sebaceous glands become particularly active during puberty when more male hormones (androgens) begin to be produced; thus the skin tends to become oilier during this period of life." Human A&P Lab. Manual by Marieb and Mitchell, 8th edition, pg 98. So I think it is sebaceous glands.
Which body system is responsible for increasing heart rate when you are scared or injured?
Adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands)is what you are referring to and it is part of the nervous system. The two glands are located on top of the kidneys and are responsible for our "fight or flight" reaction towards life threatening situations.
What is Addison's Disease and what is the treatment?
http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/wiki/Addison's_diseaseAddison's disease, also known as hypoadrenocorticism, is a chronic condition in which the adrenal glands produce insufficient cortisol. It is the opposite of Cushing's disease.The adrenal glands produce two types of hormones; we're most familiar with the glucocortoid ones, such as cortisone. Cortisol and other hormonal levels rise during anger or fear, stress or injury. The term "getting one's adrenalin going" in response to these situations applies to the natural response a healthy body has to them. Those with faulty adrenal glands don't produce enough cortisol to allow the body to respond properly.The other adrenal hormones, known as mineralcorticoids, are what keeps the system in balance regarding proper amounts of salt, potassium, and water in the body. Imbalances of these keys to life can have grave consequences also.

Where does the adrenaline come from when you are scared?
When you are scared, the pituitary gland makes a mental note of it. It then processes the request to send a hormone (a chemical message) through the bloodstream to go to its "target center" which is the adrenal glands. the adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys in the lower abdomen area. Once these adrenal glands get this message; the hormone, it releases extra adrenaline into your bloodstream. the adrenaline affects all areas of your body, making you feel scared or nervous. Adrenaline in your system makes your senses sharper, and causes the "fight or flight" response. For ex. if you are watching a scary movie, and the slightest noise or touch is made outside of the movie, you might scream, thanks to adrenaline. If you are a protective mother, but run the car over your baby, sometimes you will get enough adrenaline to pick up the car and lift up your baby. {the side affect is becoming known as supermom. lol.} that is called the "fight response" because your muscles are using all the ATP (energy) and adrenaline, that it can do beyond human things like a "superhero" per say. If a bear is chasing you, adrenaline gives you the extra boost of energy to outrun the bear, faster than usual, and get away, saving your own life. this is known as the "Flight response". ~kthnx, hope that's helpful~ Krista xx <333
