- Hypothalamus
-
1) Hormone: releasing hormones
Action o/t Hormon: stimulates the pituitary to secrete its hormones - Gland: Hypothalamus
- releases hormones that stimulate pituitary to secrete its hormones
- FSH
-
+anterior pituitary
+control growth, development, & functioning o/t gonads - Releasing hormones
-

-
+thyroid
+regulates cellular metabolic rate (direct releationship) - Calcitonin
-
+thyroid

+adrenal cortex
+long term stress response
+regulates metabolism of carbs, fats, & proteins [the energy avalibility to the blood] - Adrenaline
-
+adrenal medulla
+fight or flight response

-
+Gonads (ovary:female)
+thickening of uterine lining - Androgens (testosterone)
-
+gonads (testes:males)
+development of sex cells, sexual charachteristics & controls sexual behavior cycles
