Answer:

The correct answer is ACTH(adrenal corticotrophic hormone).

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is also called the master gland because it controls the regulation of many glands by secreting hormones. Many times hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release hormones that stimulate other glands.

One such hormone which is secreted by anterior pituitary is ACTH. ACTH is released when corticotrophin-releasing hormone released from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland. ACTH hormone then stimulates the cortical region of the adrenal cortex to produce a hormone cortisol which plays several important roles in our body like stress control, regulation sleep-wake cycle, etc.

How are antihistamines and decongestants similar? How are they different?

shtirl [24]

Decongestants tend to unblock your nose and chest, it depends or how clogged you feel. An antihistamine is supposed to block or slow the release of histamine, which produces the excess mucus. If your nose is running and you are sneezing, you may can get by with just an antihistamine. Now if you are like me and woke up sneezing your head off, but your lungs and nasal passages are still clogged, you need to take the decongestant too.
