Step-by-step explanation:

Cortisol, a steroid hormone, is produced by adrenal cortex in adrenal gland located just above the kidneys. It is released in high stress situation and low blood glucose concentration. The effects include high increase in production of glucose through gluconeogenesis (breakdown of amino acids/proteins to glucose via deamination pathway), aids in metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates and suppresses immune system.

Please see the attached flowchart diagram for a random concept. As you have not provided the labels, I am afraid I am unable to help you further in this regard.
