Detailed explanation-1: -Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH ) is released from the hypothalamus, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH then acts on its target organ, the adrenal cortex.
Detailed explanation-2: -ACTH also plays a role in stimulating your adrenal glands to release androgens (sex hormones) and stimulating the production of chemical substances that stimulate an increase in other hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your anterior pituitary produces and releases (secretes) six main hormones: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, or corticotropin): This hormone stimulates your adrenal glands (the glands on top of your kidneys) to produce cortisol and other hormones.
Detailed explanation-4: -ACTH is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release a hormone called cortisol.
Detailed explanation-5: -ACTH primarily functions to regulate cortisol and androgen production. The ACTH released from the anterior pituitary acts on its target organ, the Adrenal gland, and stimulates the production of Glucocorticoids from the Zona Fasiculata and androgens from the Zona Reticularis.
