GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH). ACTH then stimulates the adrenal glands to make and release cortisol hormones into the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -A steroid hormone made by the adrenal cortex (the outer layer of the adrenal gland). It helps control the balance of water and salts in the kidney by keeping sodium in and releasing potassium from the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aldosterone is a steroid hormone secreted by adrenal glands. Its main role is to regulate salt and water in the body, thus having an effect on blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your adrenal glands release cortisol during times of stress to help your body get an energy boost and better handle an emergency situation. Aldosterone: Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone that plays a central role in regulating blood pressure and the levels of sodium and potassium (electrolytes) in your blood.
