Describes the steps of the slow stress response. Make sure to mention the brain regions and hormones involved. Use your favorite serial killer as an example of something that triggers this response.
The slow response is due to activation of the HPA axis resulting in the release of Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus into the circulation. The CRH released from the hypothalamus acts on two receptors; CRH-R1 and CRH-R2.
