A) hypothalamus produces ACTH-releasing hormone - anterior pituitary is stimulated to produce ACTH - adrenal cortex stimulated to produce glucocorticoids (regulate metabolism and sugar level)
B) hypothalamus produces ACTH-releasing hormone - anterior pituitary is stimulated to produce ACTH - adrenal cortex secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine (regulate metabolism and sugar level)
C) anterior pituitary produces ACTH - hypothalamus releases ACTH-releasing hormone - adrenal cortex hormones then produced
D) adrenal cortex secretes hormones - anterior pituitary secretes ACTH - hypothalamus secretes ACTH-releasing hormone
E) adrenal cortex secretes hormones - hypothalamus secretes ACTH-releasing hormone - anterior pituitary releases ACTH
