Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is secreted from the anterior pituitary when corticotropin releasing hormone is released. Option C
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released by the anterior pituitary in response to stimulation by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). In turn, ACTH stimulates the production and release of cortisol by acting on the adrenal glands, more especially the adrenal cortex.
The hormone cortisol is essential for many physiological functions, such as metabolism and the body's reaction to stress.
