Summary Introduction
To review:
The primary agent that stimulates the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Introduction:
There are various organs and tissues in the body which are associated with the secretion of different chemical messengers. These chemical messengers are associated with the regulation of various physiological and biological processes. The secretion of these chemical messengers are regulated either by neural control or by other hormones.
