Question

Which gland in the endocrine system primarily controls the body's response to a stressful situation?

Answer 1

The adrenal glands, in a cascade called the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal axis, the hypothalamus sends CRH to the pituitary gland, and the pituitary then sends minerotropin and glucotropin hormones activating the adrenal glands which then regulates your stress response.

Answer 2

Pituitary gland: the “brain” of the endocrine system; regulates all seven of the other glands and secretes growth hormone.

Answer: Pituitary gland
