Q

ADRENAL CORTEX

A

Secretes STEROID HORMONES
regulated by HYPOTHALMUS-pituitary axis
Hypothalamus secretes (CRH) corticotropin releasing hormone -stimulates pituitary gland to secrete (ACTH) -adrenal cortex -glucocorticoid hormone (cortisol) increase adrenal cortex hormones inhibit secretion of CRH and ACTH
