Part of this reaction is that the pituitary gland releases ACTH (adreno cortico trophic hormone). This hormone travels in the bloodstream toward the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands function just above the kidneys and release adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. The
Adrenal cortex produces cortisol which under normal conditions increases the bodies immune function. Overall the main function of Cortisol is to ensure that: a) There is a sufficient supply of energy to the muscles and b) Amino acids are
