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.
The endospore stain is a differential stain used to visualize bacterial endospores. Endospores are formed by a few genera of bacteria, such as Bacillus. By forming spores, bacteria can survive in hostile conditions. Spores are resistant to heat, dessication, chemicals, and radiation.
