Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is released by the pituitary gland in response to stress, leading to the production of cortisol by the adrenal glands, which helps the body respond to stress. Cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine are not released by the pituitary gland but by the adrenal glands.
