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
