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.
Adrenal glands work interactively with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain. For example, for the adrenal gland to produce corticosteroid hormones: The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH).The ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to make and release corticosteroid hormones into the blood.Both the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland can sense whether the blood has the right amount of an adrenal hormone (cortisol) in it.drenal glands work interactively with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain.
