Epinephrine/Adrenalin and Norepinephrine function

the fastest response to stress. squirted into the blood increasing heat beat, bp, blood flow to muscles, air into lungs, etc. decreases urine formation and digestion.

Insulin function

decreases blood sugar levels by moving glucose from blood to cells.

Glucagon function

increases blood sugar levels by moving glucose from cells to blood.

Somatostatin function

inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon.

Estrogen function

stimulates growth and maturation of genitalia and breasts at puberty.


maintain adult size function of reproductive organs.


prepares for fertilization.


promotes oogenesis(egg making) and ovulation.


during pregnancy- uterine, external genitalia, and mammary growth.


stimulates long bone length, feminizing of pelvis and brain.


promotes skim hydration, female adipose pattern of deposit, and appearance of axillary and pubic hair.

Testosterone function

masculizing hormone that deepens voice, increases body hair, sebum production, masculature and bone density.

Progesterone function

with estrogen stimulates growth of breasts and regulates uterine cycle.


during pregnancy, with estrogen cause mammary glands to mature.

Thymosin function

regulates the development and activation of T lymphocytes.

Human Gonadotrophins(HGC's), estrogens, and progesterones function

maintains the corpus luteum(mature follicle after egg release) during pregnancy.

Melatonin function

regulates the onset of puberty and female cycle.


regulates internal clock, sleep cycle, and mood due to lighting exposure.

Atrial Natriuretic Hormone(ANH) function

stimulates the kidney to secrete sodium and water into the urine.

Gastrin function

stimulates glands to release HCl in response to food in stomach.

Intestinal Gastrin function

inhibits HCl secretion and GI tract mobility/movement.

Secretin function

release alkaline buffer(pancreas), bile(liver), halt stomach secretions.

Cholecystokinin(CCK) function

stimulates release of digestive juices(pancreas) and bile(gallbladder).

Erythropoietin function

stimulates the production of RBC's in bone marrow.
