Hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) ---> Pituitary gland releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) ---> ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex ---> adrenal cortex releases cortisol into the blood stream ---> cortisol affects target cells, and ceases once homeostasis is reached.
