arenal cortex
|
outer section of each adrenal gland
|
|
|
adrenal medulla
|
inner section of each gland
|
|
|
ovaries
|
endorcine glands in lower abdomen; repsonsibel for egg production and estrogen and progesterone secretion
|
|
|
pancreas
|
endorcine gland behind stomach; islet cells secrete hormones from pancreas
|
|
|
parathyroid gland
|
four small endocrine glands; posterior side of thyroid gland
|
|
|
pituitary gland (hypophysis)
|
endocrine gladn at base of brain; has two lobes, anterior and posterior
|
|
|
testes
|
glands enclosed in scrotal sac of male; responsible for sperm production and testosterone secretion
|
|
|
adrenaline
|
epinephrine; increases heart rate and blood pressure
|
|
|
adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
|
proudced by anteiror lobe of pituitary gland; adrenocroticotropin; stimulates adreanl cortex
|
|
|
aldosterone
|
produced by adrenal cortex; increases sodium reabsorption
|
|
|
androgen
|
male hormone; testosterone is example
|
|
|
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
|
secreted by pituitary gland; ADH (vasopressin)increases reabsorption of water by kidney
|
|
|
calcitonin
|
produced by the thyroid gland; calcitonin lowers blodo calcium

|
estrogen (female hormone) produced by ovaries
|
|
|
estrogen
|
famel hormone produced by ovaries
|
|
|
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
|
produced by anteior lobe of pituitary gland; stimulates homrone secretion and egg production by ovariesf and sperm production by testes
|
|
|
glucagon
|
hormone produced by alpha islet cells of pancreas; increases blood sugar by conversion of glycogen (starch) to glucose
|
|
|
growth hormone (GH)
|
somatotropin; stimulates grwoth of bones and tissues
|
|
|
insulin
|
lowers blood sugar by transport and conversion of glucose to glycogen (starch)
|
|
|
luteinizing hormone (LH)
|
produced by ant. lobe of pit.; stimulates ovulation in females and tesosterone secretion in males
|
|
|
norepinephrine
|
produced by adrenal medulla; increases heart rate and blood pressure
|
|
|
oxytocin (OT)
|
secreted by posteior lobe of pit. gland; stimulates contraction of uterus during labor and childbirth
|
|
|
parathormone (PTH)
|
increases blood calcium
|
|
|
progesterone
|
produced by ovaries; prepares uterus for pregnancy
|
|
|

|
produced by anterior lobe of pit. gland; promoted milk sectretion
|
|
|
somatotropin (STH)
|
produced by ant. lobe of pit. gland; called growth homrone
|
|
|
testerone
|
male hormone; produced by testes
|
|
|
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
|
ant. lobe of pit.; acts of thyroid gladn to promote its fucntioning; also called thyrotropin
|
|
|
thyroxine (T4)
|
p. thryoid gland; tetraiodothyronine; increases metabolism in cells
|
|
|
triiodothyronine (t3)
|
p. thyroid gland; icnreases metabolism in cells
|
|
