For Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis of endocrine gland secretion, follow the root "CORTI" (C). This will be a great memory tool. Also, nearly all hypothalamic hormones that stimulate anterior pituitary secretion have the word RELEASING (hence "R" in their acronyms). So if asked what secretes CRH, GnRH, TRH, or GHRH... the answer will be the Hypothalamus because of the R. Now... back to CRH... we're following the "C" for CORTI. What other endocrine hormone has C for CORTI?? ACTH = Adreno[Corti]coTropic Hormone Which will then stimulate secretion of [Corti]sol (a glucocorticoid), amongst others from the cortex of the adrenal gland. Notice the [Corti] follows the whole pathway from Hypothalamus to adrenal Cortex: Hypothal. (CRH) --> Ant. Pituit. (ACTH) --> Adrenal Cortex (Cortisol) Sorry this was so long-winded, but I was hoping to help you grasp a portion of how the Endocrine System works! Good luck and hmu should you have any further Anatomy/Physiology questions.

A mass movement can either be slow or rapid. The slow downward movement of materials in a slope is called creep. This happens when the soil loosens up because of water and burrowing animals. In contrast to this, the rapid movement of large materials in a slope is called landslide.
