- Releases the releasing hormones to stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete its own hormones.
- Hypothymus Gland
- Made in the Anterior Pituitary and stimulates the adrenal cortex
- ACTH
- Made in the Anterior Pituitary and stimulates growth in body cells
- GH
- made in the Anterior Pituitary and it stimulates the thyroid gland (thyroid stimulating hormone)
- TSH
- Made in the anterior pituitary and it stimulates the production of milk in females
- Prolactin
- Made in the anterior pituitary and stimulates the production of melanin
- MSH
- made by the Anterior Pituitary gland and control the growth, development, and functioning of the gonads.
- FSH and LH
- antidiuretic hormone made in posterior pituitary it stimulates H2O retention in kidneys
- ADH
- Stimulates the contraction of uterus during labor and release of milk during nursing; made in the posterior pituitary
- Oxytocin
- regulates cellular metabolic rate (direct relationship)made in the thyroid
- Thyroxine
- Lowers blood Calcium positive levels Thyroid
- Calcitonin
- Parathyroid hormone- increases blood calcium positive levels parathyroid
- PTH
- Regulates reabsorption of Na+ and K+ in the kidneys (H2O/ Salt balance) Adrenal Cortex in the Adrenal gland
- Aldosterone
- Long term stress response- Regulates metabolism of carbs fats and protiens [the energy available to the body] Adrenal cortex in the Adrenal gland
- Cortisol
- Fight or flight response is triggered by...
- Adrenal Medulla
- Increase blood glucose levels and cellular metabolism; increases heart rate, BP, and blood supply to skel. muscles
- Adrenaline (epinephrine)
- Stimulation of cardiac muscles...
- Noradrenaline (norepinephrine)
- Part of Pancreas that produces hormones
- Islets of Langerhans
-
Increase glucose absorption and storage of glucose
-in liver: glucose stored as glycogen
-in body: glucose stored as fat
(decrease in blood glucose levels) - insulin
- Increase glycogen breakdown 1st, fat 2nd (increase blood glucose levels)
- Glucagon
- Developement of sex cells, sexual characteristics and controls sexual behavior cycles
- Androgens (Testosterone) Testes in males only!
- Thickening of Uterine lining
- Progesterone Ovaries (Fem. only)
