So that increases the blood volume inside our blood, and that basically increases the blood pressure inside our blood vessels. Now, the next set of hormones that are secreted by the adrenaline cortex is Cortisol and Cortisone. So Cortisol and Cortisone are very similar in their structure as well as in their functionality. And these are hormones that fall into a category known as glucocorticoids so the glucose portion simply means that these hormones are responsible for increasing the rate of production of glucose. And the process that they use is basically gluconeogenesis. So gluconeogenesis is the production of our glucose from non carbohydrate sources such as lactic acid, amino acids and glycerol.
