T3 & T4
|
Thyroid Gland
|
Accelerates the rate of metabolism
|
|
|
Calcitonin
|
Thyroid Gland
|
Osteoblasts pull Ca++ from blood cells and deposit into bone to cause a decrease in Ca++ absorption in the intestines
|
|
|
Parathyroid (PTH)
|
Parathyroid Gland
|
Raise blood Ca++ levels
|
|
|
Aldosterone
|
Adrenal Cortex
Zone Glomerulosa |
Reabsorption of Na+ resulting in an increase in Na+ and increase in blood pressure
|
|
|
Cortisol (Glucocorticoid)
|
Adrenal Cortex
Zona Fasciculata |
Causes glucose to be formed from fats and proteins during times of stress
|
|
|
Adrogens
|
Adrenal Cortex
Zona Reticularis |
Increase cell metabolism and red blood cell production in infants
|
|
|
Epinephrine
|
Adrenal Medulla
|
Increases blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to brain and skeletal muscles
|
|
|
Norepinephrine
|
Adrenal Medulla
|
Increases blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to brain and skeletal muscles
|
|
|
Glucagon (Alpha)
|
Pancreas
|
Breakdown fat and proteins into glucose to raise blood sugar to normal range
