Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Yes. ACTH = AdrenoCorticoTropic Hormone. It acts on the Fasciculata and Reticulata areas of the adrenal cortex, stimulating the release of Glucocorticoids (Cortisol) and to a lesser degree, of weak Androgens.
Sympathetic stimulation of the chromaffmin cells of the adrenal medulla stimulates the release of their catecholamines. The neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
ACTH
ACTH _____Triggers secretion of adrenal cortex hormones
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland and the embryo
Some of the steroid hormones are produced by the adrenal cortex. Steroid hormones are soluble in lipids. Steroid hormones travel in the blood attached to the carrier proteins.

adrenocorticotropic hormone
adrenaline The adrenal cortex produces a battery of steroids (glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids - mainly hydrocortisone and aldosterone), but it doesn't produce adrenalin. Adrenalin is released by the adrenal medulla which occupies the interior of the adrenal gland
AcTH stimulates the gland.It is produced in Interir pitutory
Glucocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex.
Sympathetic stimulation of the chromaffmin cells of the adrenal medulla stimulates the release of their catecholamines. The neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
From the adrenal cortex, which is a gland that synthesizes and secretes hormones located right above the kidney. the adrenal cortex also releases mineralcorticoids such as aldosterone, sex corticoids, and glucocorticoids (cortisone and cortisol). Both glucocorticoids work to increase the blood-glucose concentration by gluceogenesis.
ACTH
preganglionic sympathetic fibers releasing acetylcholine that bind to receptors on the adrenal medulla
