|
Growth Hormone (GH) |
Anterior Pituitary -stimulates protein synthesis and growth |
|
|
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) |
Anterior Pituitary -stimulates the adrenal cortex to make glucocorticoids |
|
|
Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) |
Anterior Pituitary -stimulates the thyroid to produce and secrete thyroxin |
|
|
Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) |
Anterior Pituitary -(in females) stimulates the development of follicles in the ovary and -(in males) stimulates spermatogenesis |
|
|
Leutinizing Hormone (LH) |
Anterior Pituitary -(in females) stimulates ovulation, the formation of the corpus luteum, and the production of progesterone by the corpus luteum |
|
|
Prolactin |
Anterior Pituitary -(in females) stimulates the production of milk by mammary gland |
|
|
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) |
Posterior Pituitary -is released (due to water/salt levels) to stimulate the kidneys to retain water |
|
|
Oxytocin |
Posterior Pituitary -(in females) is released (due to nervous system) to stimulate contraction during birthing and milk ejection by the mammary glands |
|
|
Thyroxin |
Thyroid Gland -controls the BMR (basal metabolic rate - cell -is stimulated by TSH |
|
|
Calcitonin |
Thyroid Gland -stimulates deposition of calcium into bone (by the osteoblasts) -is stimulated by high calcium levels |
|
|
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) |
Parathyroid Gland -promotes an increase in calcium ion concentration in the blood by activating the osteoclasts in bones and stimulating the kidneys to reabsorb calcium -is stimulated by low calcium levels |
|
|
Insulin |
Pancreas -stimulates cellular uptake of glucose and the formation of glycogen and fat to reduce glucose levels -is stimulated by high blood sugar |
|
|
Glucagon |
Pancreas -stimulates cellular hydrolysis (breakdown) of glycogen -is stimulated by low blood sugar |
|
|
Aldosterone |
Adrenal Gland -acts on the kidneys and their retention of Na+ (ultimate result is retention of water) |
|
|
Cortisol |
Adrenal Gland -acts to make sugar available for cellular respiration during stress -is stimulated by ACTH |
|
|
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
|
Adrenal Gland -("fight or flight") cause increases in heart rate, heart output, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and metabolic rate |
|
|
Thymosin |
Thymus -appears to be essential in the proper development of the immune system |
|
|
Melatonin |
Pineal Gland -is produced in greatest amounts at night, health food stores sell this hormone as a sleep aid and to minimize jet lag -production is inhibited by light |
|
|
Estrogens |
Ovary -is secreted by the developing follicles -influences maturation of the sex organs and development of secondary sex characteristics in females and effects growth of the endometrium of the uterus during the menstrual cycle |
|
|
Progesterone |
Ovary -is secreted by the corpus luteum -influences the development of the endometrium
|
|
|
Testosterone |
Testes -is secreted by the interstitial cells -in males influences the development and |
