Stimulate secretion of hormones with adrenal cortex
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?
