ACTH means adrenocorticotrophic hormone. The target for this hormone is adrenal gland. It stimulate the gland to produce the corticosteroid hormone.
Adrenal Medulla is not the correct answer. The actual target of ACTH is the Adrenal Cortex, hence the name Adrenocorticotropic Hormone. Please feel free to test my answer, but I believe that is more specific than suggesting the Medulla itself.
The target organ of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is the adrenal glands. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce and release cortisol, a hormone involved in the body's stress response.
ACTH is the short form of the adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Hormones that target other endocrine glands. Produced by anterior pituitary. Include: FSH, TSH, LH, ACTH.
I was just wondering if you can show a diagram of how ACTH works in the body?
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) released by the hypothalamus. ACTH stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands in response to stress.
If ACTH does not cause a normal elevation, the adrenal gland is primarily affected as it may not be responding appropriately to the stimulation of ACTH. This can indicate problems with the adrenal cortex, which produces cortisol in response to ACTH.
ACTH stands for Adrenocorticotropic homone. So it stimulates the adrenal cortex.
Cortisol has the broadest range of target organs among hormones. It affects almost every cell in the body and plays a vital role in various processes such as metabolism, immune response, and stress regulation.
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) affects the adrenal glands, promoting the production and release of cortisol.
ACTH is stress hormone. It should decrease the oral secretions. Rather it will decrease the oral secretions.
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, a hormone that helps regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress. By increasing cortisol levels, ACTH helps the body respond to stress, maintain blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and regulate inflammation.
