1 Answer

5 votes

Answer:

Cortisol, the major hormone of the adrenal gland, is a critical regulator of metabolism and is important to the body's ability to respond to stress and injury. It has complex effects on the skeleton (Canalis and Delany 2002). Small amounts are necessary for normal bone development, but large amounts block bone growth.
