Gothic fiction, which is largely known by the subgenre of Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature that combines fiction, horror, death and Romanticism.ts origin is attributed to English author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto, subtitled (in its second edition) A Gothic Story.. The effect of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole's novel.
The pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain, makes and secretes a hormone known as adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACTH. Secretion of ACTH signals the adrenal glands to increase cortisol production and secretion.The pituitary, in turn, receives signals from the hypothalamus of the brain in the form of the hormone CRH, or corticotrophin-releasing hormone, which signals the pituitary to release ACTH.he marker used to measure stress is the adrenal steroid hormone, cortisol. Stress, whether physical or emotional in origin, provokes a response by the adrenal glands. Many hormonal imbalances are the direct result of adrenal insufficiency. The adrenal glands produce two primary hormones, DHEA and cortisol.
Sweat comes from exocrine glands. The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that produces hormones. The endocrine system regulates the body's organ function using hormone-based signals. The pineal gland secretes melatonin, which promotes sleep.ndocrine glands secrete substances directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands tend to be relatively simple and have local effects, while endocrine ones release hormones that travel throughout the body. Most glands form in the embryo from epithelial tissue.
