Anterior Lobe Pituitary
Growth Hormone (GH) |
Most Tissues----Stimulates growth by promoting protein synthesis
|
|
|
Thyroid Gland
Thyroxine (t4) |
Most Body Cells ----Increases metabolic rate for normal growth and development
|
|
|
Adrenal Cortex
Glucocorticoids-Cortisol |
Most tissues---Increases blood glucose levels inhibits inflammation/ increases water retention
|
|
|
Adrenal Cortex
Gonadocorticoids Androgens/ Estrogens |
Secreted in small amts so that the effect is generally masked by the hormones of the ovaries and the testes.
|
|
|
Pancreas
(islets of Langerhans) Insulin |
General but especially the liver muscle & adipose----decreases blood glucose stimulates glucose storage as glycogen and production of adipose
