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.
A bacteria, which possesses capsule is a capsulated bacteria. The purpose of capsule staining is to observe bacterial capsule by distinguishing capsular material from the bacteria cell. Principle: In capsule staining, a smear of bacteria is made at the center of a slide.
Capsule Staining- Principle, Reagents, Procedure and Result. The main purpose of capsule stain is to distinguish capsular material from the bacterial cell. A capsule is a gelatinous outer layer secreted by bacterial cell and that surrounds and adheres to the cell wall. Most capsules are composed of polysaccharides, but some are composed of polypeptides.
