|
|
Growth hormone (GH) |
Promotes Growth, increases rate if mitosis and protein synthesis |
Anterior Pituitary gland |
|
|
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) |
Initiates growth of ovum and increases secretion of estrogen in females and initiates sperm production in men |
Anterior Pituitary gland |
|
|
2. Posterior Pituitary Gland |
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Oxytocin |
They both are actually produced by the hypothalamus and simply stored in the posterior |
|
|
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) |
Prevents water loss by increasing reabsorption of water by the kidneys |
Posterior Pituitary Glands |
|
|
Oxytocin |
Promotes contraction of uterus during labor |

|
|
3. Parathyroid Glands |
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) |
|
|
|
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) |
Increases reabsorption of calcium and phosphate from the bones to the blood (Increases blood levels) |

|
|
|
Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3) |
Increases energy production |
Thyroid Gland |
|
|
Calcitonin |
Decreases reabsorption of calcium from bones to blood (Increases level in bone) |

|
|
|
Glucagon |
Increase conversion of glycogen to glucose |
Pancreas |
|
|
Insulin |
Increases glucose transport into cells |
Pancreas |
|
|
8. Ovaries |
Progesterone Estrogen |
|
|
|
Progesterone |
Necessary for the successful implantation of the embryo/promotes storage of glycogen and further growth of blood vessels in uterus |
Ovaries |
|
|
Estrogen |
Promotes the maturation of the ovum/stimulates the growth of blood vessels in the lining of the uterus/secondary Sex characteristics |
Ovaries |
|
|
9. Testes |
Testosterone |
|
|
|
Testosterone |
Promotes maturation of the sperm/secondary Sex characteristics |
Testes |
|
|
Negative feedback mechanism |
Information about the effects of the hormone is "fed back" to the gland, which then decreases its secretion of the hormone |
|
|
|
Target Organs or Target Tissues |
Each hormone then exerts very specific effects on certain organs |
|
