Hormone |
Communication. Over longer term, keeps things running, balance. |
|
|
Proteins |
1/2 main classifications of hormones, it is a receptor in the call wall, but not past the membrane |
|
|
Steroids |
Receptor in the cell, within the cell membrane |
|
|
Endocrine Gland |
Releases hormones into the bloodstream |
|
|
Exocrine Glands |
Excretes hormones externally (sweat) |
|
|
Growth hormone |
Growth of bones, cartilage, and skeletal muscles. Causes amino acids to be build into proteins and fats to be broken down for energy. Stimulates the conversion of protein into glucose, causes blood glucose to rise, stimulates electrolytes needed for growth, stimulates the transport of amino acids into cells and synthesis of glucose during periods of fasting Made in Anterior Pituitary Gland |
|
|
Prolactin |
Stimulates breast to develop, maintains milk production after birth. Made in Anterior Pituitary Gland |
|
|
Thyroid-stimulating Hormone |
Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones Made in Anterior Pituitary Gland |
|
|
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) |
Stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete steroids, especially cortisol Made in Anterior Pituitary Gland |
|
|
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) |
Stimulates water reabsorption by the kidneys, constricts blood vessels Made in Posterior Pituitary Gland |
|
|
Oxytocin |
Contracts urine muscles during labor, releases milk from the mammary glands during breast-feeding Made in Posterior Pituitary Gland |
|
|
Thyroid hormones |
Triiodothyronine (T3) and Tetraiodothyronine (T1), control metabolic rate and regular physical and neurological growth and development. Secreted by Thyroid Gland |
|
|
Calcitonin |
Regulates calcium and phosphate (increases plasma calcium and phosphate) Secreted by Thyroid Gland |
|
|
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) |
Regulates calcium and phosphate (increases plasma calcium and exerts a phosphatidic effect Secreted by Parathyroid Gland |
|
|
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine |
Stimulate fight or flight response, epinephrine increases blood glucose Secreted by adrenal medulla |
|
|
Cortisol |
Increases blood glucose Secreted by adrenal cortex |
|
|
Aldosterone |
Increase BP, blood flow, O2, heart rate, lung volume, strength |
|
|
Insulin |
Helps regulate metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, lowers blood glucose |
|
|
Glucagon |
Increases blood glucose levels |
|
|
Prostaglandins |
Act locally near the site of secretion and cause inflammation to protect the body |
