I am a nursing student and i need help with one part of my project. i need to know what hormones are active in maintaining homeostasis as a result of a severed finger?

Stress hormones: I can offer direction but you still need to do the research. Look up "stress" hormones associated with injury. Two that I can think of are endorphins and norepinephrine. Others should be insulin and growth hormone. Don't take my word for it, look them up.
