During exercise, sensory receptors detect changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. This information is then sent to the brain's medulla, which causes the heart to beat faster and increases the rate of breathing. Exercising also causes the nervous system to signal the pancreas and thyroid gland to release hormones which regulate metabolism.

Some Events in the Release of Hormones Adrenal cortex releases cortisol. Adrenal medulla releases cortisol. Hypothalamus secretes corticotropin-releasing hormone. Hypothalamus secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Anterior pituitary releases a releasing hormone. Anterior pituitary releases adrenocorticotropic hormone. ACTH triggers the release of cortisol. ACTH stimulates the adrenal medulla. ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex. From the above events, which FOUR trigger the release of cortisol?
