|
Andrenocorticotropic Hormone |
Gland: Anterior Pituitary Function: Controls the release of hormones from the adrenal cortex |
|
|
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone |
Gland: Anterior Pituitary Function: Controls the Secretion of hormones from the thyroid |
|
|
Growth Hormone |
Gland: Anterior Pituitary Function: Stimulates an increase in the size and rate of reproducing body cells, enhances the movement of amino acids through membranes |
|
|
Prolactin |
Gland: Anterior Pituitary Function: Stimulates milk production after birth |
|
|
Luteinizing Hormone |
Gland: Anterior Pituitary Function: Promotes the secretion of sex hormones; plays a role in releasing an egg cell in females |
|
|
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone |
Gland: Anterior Pituitary Function: Responsible for development of the egg-containing follicles in the ovaries; stimulates the follicular cells to secrete estrogen;in males, stimulates the production of sex hormones |
|
|
Antidiuretic hormone |
Gland: Posterior Pituitary Function: Causes kidneys to reduce water excretion; in a high concentration, increases the blood pressure |
|
|
Oxytocin |
Gland: Posterior Pituitary Function: causes contractions of the muscles in the uterine wall; causes the muscles associated with the milk secreting glands to contract |
|
|
Adosterone |
Gland: Adrenal Cortex Function: helps regulate the concentration of extracellular electrolytes by causing sodium ions to be conserved and potassium ions to be excreted |
|
|
Cortisol |
Gland: Adrenal Cortex Function: decreases protein synthesis; increases fatty acid release, and stimulates the formation of glucose from noncarbohydrates |
|
|
Adrenal Androgens |
Gland: Adrenal Cortex Function: Supplement the sex hormones from the gonads; converted to estrogens in the female |
|
|
Epinephrine & Norepinephrine |
Gland: Adrenal Medulla Function: sympathetic nervous system include increased heart rate and increased force of cardiac muscle contraction, elevated blood pressure, increased breathing rate, and decreased activity in the digestive system |
|
|
Thymosin |
Gland: Thymus Function: affects the production and differentiation of white blood cells (lymphocytes) |
|
|
Thyroxine |
Location: Thyroid Function: help regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and enhance the rate of protein synthesis; essential to the maturation of the nervous system |
|
|
Calcitonin |
Location: Thyroid Function: lowers the blood calcium and phosphate concentrations by inhibiting the release of calcium and phosphate ions from bones and by increasing the excretion of these ions by the kidneys |
|
|
Parathyroid Hormone |
Location: Parathyroid Function: causes and increase in the blood calcium concentration and a decrease in the blood phosphate concentration |
|
|
Insulin |
Location: Pancreas Function: acts on the liver to stimulate the formation of glycogen from glucose |
|
|
Glucagon |
Location: Pancreas Function: stimulates the liver to convert glycogen and certain non-carbohydrates such as amino acids into glucose causing the blood glucose concentration to rise |
|
|
Melatonin |
Location: Pineal Gland Function: affects the secretion of gonadotropic hormones; regulates the female reproductive cycle; night and day cycle |
|
|
Gastrin |
Location: Stomach Function: Stimulates acid secretion |
|
|
Atrial Natriuretic Hormone |
Location: Heart Function: promotes the excretion of sodium ions in urine |
|
|
Erythropoietin |
Location: Kidney Function: stimulate red blood cell production |
|
|
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 |
Location: Skin Function: stimulates the absorption of calcium ions in the intestine |
|
|
Secretin/ Cholecystokinin |
Location: Small Intestine Function: inhibits gastric motility; stimulates bile and pancreatic juice secretion |
|
|
Estrogens and Progesterone |
Location: Placenta Function: help maintain the uterus in its pregnant state and prevents spontaneous abortion |
|
|
Testosterone |
Location: Testes Function: Stimulates secondary sexual development |
|
|
Releasing and Inhibiting Hormones |
Location: Hypothalmus Function: regulates the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones |
|
|
Estrogen |
Location: Ovaries Function: Development and maintenance of the female secondary sexual characteristics |
|
|
Progesterone |
Location: Ovaries Function: promotes the changes that occur in the uterus during the female reproductive cycle |
