Summary
| Description |
English: Diagram detailing the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis in the normal state, primary adrenal insufficiency, secondary adrenal insufficiency, and tertiary adrenal insufficiency. In the normal state, the hypothalamus secretes corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) to induce the pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to induce the adrenal gland to secrete cortisol. Cortisol then exerts negative feedback by inhibiting the secretion of CRH and ACTH in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, respectively. |
