Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis - Anatomy
The HPA axis includes parts of the hypothalamus, the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, the adrenal cortices, hormones, systems that transport hormones and feedback mechanisms that transport cortisol from adrenal glands back to the hypothalamus and to other parts of the brain.
The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) from an area along the median eminence. The hormone is transported to the anterior lobe of the pituitary through the portal blood vessel system of the hypophyseal stalk, which descends from the hypothalamus. In the anterior pituitary gland, CRF stimulates release of stored adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is transported by the blood to the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland, where it rapidly stimulates biosynthesis of corticosteroids from cholesterol.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
