HPA axis (short version)
Description
This template traces the short version of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, starting with a stressor activating the hypothalamus to release CRH. CRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete ACTH, which acts on the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids that produce downstream metabolic effects.
