What happens when the storm begins? "a particular
ductless gland called the suprarenal body situated in
front of the kidney is stimulated to increased activity
There is extra production of hormone called adrena
lin which is. distributed by the blood throughout the
body 1t to increase the tone of the muscles the
pressure of the blood the amount of sugar the blood
the clottng of the blood and One of its far
off effects is to stimulate the tiny muscles that raise the
hairs So the cats fur stands end and it's whole body
is ready for fight, which is often unnecessary.
note the happy coincidence Tor the divine pan) which
