The correct pathway for the secretion of glucocorticoids involves:
 
  a. central nucleus of the amygdala > activates ACTH secretion from anterior pituitary > PVN activation > glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal medulla
  b. CRH secretion within the PVN > activates ACTH release from anterior
  pituitary > glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex
  c. PVN activation > CRH secretion in median eminence > ACTH secretion from anterior pituitary > glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex
  d. ACTH secretion from the PVN > CRH release from the posterior pituitary > glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex
  e. activation of the central nucleus of the amygdala > sympathetic activation > adrenaline release > glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex

Question 2

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
