Nerve cells because skin cells keep dividing when you loose skin. Epithelial cells also divide when you loose others.
The correct answer is HPA axis.
The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the most important neuroendocrine systems, which regulates the stress response and other functions such as the digestion, mood, emotions and the immune system.
The hypothalamus, when triggered by a possible stressor, releases two hormones; the vasopressin and the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH, in turn, triggers the release of the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. As a result of the secretion of ACTH, cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex.
Cortisol is a steroid hormone, considered to be our body's stress hormone.
