Detailed explanation-1: -The main function of adrenocorticotropic hormone is to stimulate your adrenal glands to release cortisol. Cortisol is an essential hormone that affects almost every organ and tissue in your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -A rise in blood glucose levels triggers release of insulin from the pancreas. This mechanism of hormone production is stimulated by: humoral stimuli.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once adrenocorticotropic hormone reaches the adrenal glands, it binds on to receptors causing the adrenal glands to secrete more cortisol, resulting in higher levels of cortisol in the blood.
Detailed explanation-4: -Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released from the hypothalamus, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
