Release of ACTH is stimulated by corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamus in response to stress or low levels of cortisol in the body.
Thyroid gland: Stimulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary, it releases thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. Adrenal glands: Stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary, they secrete cortisol that helps in stress response. Ovaries or testes: Stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary, they regulate reproductive functions and hormone production.
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.
Glucocorticoids are primarily stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is released by the pituitary gland in response to stress. Other factors that can stimulate glucocorticoid production include low blood glucose levels, inflammation, and certain medications like corticosteroids.
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) affects the adrenal glands, promoting the production and release of cortisol.

ACTH is the short form of the adrenocorticotropic hormone.
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.
Glucocorticoids are primarily stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is released by the pituitary gland in response to stress. Other factors that can stimulate glucocorticoid production include low blood glucose levels, inflammation, and certain medications like corticosteroids.
ACTH stands for Adrenocorticotropic homone. So it stimulates the adrenal cortex.

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.
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.
