Question
- which answer lists two hormone pathways that involve the hypothalamus and pituitary communicating with one another? acth and estrogen cortisol and adh androgens and crh insulin and glucagon
The hypothalamus - pituitary axis is involved in the regulation of many hormones. Corticotropin - releasing hormone (CRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus which stimulates the pituitary to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Also, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is produced by the hypothalamus and stored and released from the posterior pituitary. Cortisol is released by the adrenal glands in response to ACTH from the pituitary. ACTH is part of the hypothalamus - pituitary - adrenal axis. ADH is also regulated by the hypothalamus - pituitary communication.
