Decreases
Does not affect
Cortisol is a hormone secreted by the __________.
Group of answer choices
Parathyroid glands
Adrenal gland
Pancreas
Pineal gland
Thyroid gland
An area called the diencephalon includes the thalamus, which serves as an integrating center for sensory input. Immediately below it, is the _8__ which is critically important for helping us maintain homeostasis. The pituitary gland, which is sometimes referred to as the “master gland” of the endocrine system attaches to this structure by a stalk-like connection, but it is not visible in the specimen we’re looking at.
