Stress induced release of ACTH from the pituitary gland

Question

has no affect on the immune stem
causes release of cortisol from the adrenal gland which suppresses the immune system
leads to feser
increases the immune response
activates all the non-specific defense systems

Answer 1

Incorrect. Stress induced release of ACTH from the pituitary gland causes release of cortisol from the adrenal gland which suppresses the immune system. This can lead to a decrease in immune response, not an increase. While stress can activate certain non-specific defense systems such as the sympathetic nervous system and inflammatory response, it ultimately has an overall negative impact on the immune system.
