adenohypophysis
|
anterior pituitary gland
|
|
|
adenohypophysis- gonadotropins
|
FSH: (follicle stimulating hormones)
LH: (luteinizing hormone) regulate gamete production and hormonal activity of the gonads |
|
|
adenohypophysis- ACTH
|
adrenocorticotropic hormone: regulates endocrine activity of the cortex portion of the adrenal gland
|
|
|
adenohypophysis- TSH
|
thyroid stimulating gland: or thyrotropin: influences the growth and activity of thyroid gland
|
|
|
adenohypophysis- GH
|
growth hormone: metabolic hormone plays role in determining body size
|
|
|
adenohypophysis- PRL
|
prolaction: stimulates breast development and promotes/maintains lactation by the mammary glands after birth. may stimulate testosterone in males
|
|
|
neurohypophysis
|
posterior pituitary gland
|
|
|
neurohypophysis- oxytocin
|
stimulates powerful uterine contractions during birth. causes milk ejection in lactating mother
|
|
|
neurohypophysis- ADH
|
antidiuretic hormone: causes the distal/collecting tubes of kidney to reabsorb more water from urinary filtrate... basically reducing urine output and conserving body water
|
|
|
thyroid gland- TH
|
thyroid hormone=thyroxine (or triiodothyronine?) control the rate of body metabolisim and cellular oxidation-
AFFECTS virtually every cell in body |
|
|
thyroid gland - calcitonin
|
aka thyrocalcitonin: decrease blood Ca levels by stimulating Ca salt deposit in bones
|
|
|
parathyroid gland- PTH
|
parathyroid hormone:most important regulator of calcium balance in blood
|
|
|
adrenal gland produces what collectively named group
|
corticosteroids
|
|
|
adrenal (suprarenal) gland group 1:
Zona glomerulosa |
mineralocorticoids (aldosterone): regulate water and electrolyte balance in extracellular fluids
*retains liquid |
|
|
adrenal gland group 2:
Zona fasciculata |
glucocotricoids (cortisol): enable body to resist long term stressors- increase blood glucose levels
*makes cortisol |
|
|
adrenal gland group 3:
Zona reticularis |
gonadocorticoids: sex hormones: androgens = males
estrogen= females |
|
|
pancreas
|
insulin- decreases blood sugar levels
digestive enzymes |
|
|
gonads
|
estrogens- develops secondary sex characteristics
progesterone: bring about the menstrual cycle testosterone: develops secondary male sex characteristics |
|
|
thymus
|
thymosin, thymopoietin- direct the maturation and specialization of T cells
|
|
|
pineal gland
|
melatonin: biological rhythms (mating/migratory behavior)
|
|
|
tropic hormones
(ADENOPHYPOPHYSIS) |
TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH
|
