Question

adrenal medulla
the target organ of adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) is the adrenal medulla.
true
false

Explanation:

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Its target organ is the adrenal cortex, not the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex responds to ACTH by producing and secreting glucocorticoids (such as cortisol). The adrenal medulla is involved in the body's "fight - or - flight" response and is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system, not by ACTH.

Answer:

B. False
