The signaling molecule ACTH is released by the pituitary gland in the brain and released into the bloodstream. When it reaches the adrenal cortex, it stimulates the production of cortisol. This particular signaling cascade is a great example of the complex ways that organelles do important jobs that are not often explored when generally defining their function. In the movie we see a simplified version of how it all works.
âAdrenocorticotropic hormone â stimulates the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids. âLuteinizing hormone â stimulates the release of steroid hormones in gonadsâthe ovary and testes. âFollicle-stimulating hormone â stimulates the maturation of eggs and production of sperm. âGrowth hormone â has both tropic and non-tropic effects. Growth hormone's major tropic effect is it releases insulin-like growth factors from the liver, which causes bone growth.
