ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND
Growth hormone (GH) Stimulates the growth of bone and soft tissue ; stimulates the synthesis of gluclose guring periods of fasting.
Prolactin stimulates the breast to develop and produce milk.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone(THS) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (T3 &T4)
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete steroids, especially cortisol.
Gonadotropic hormones
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates development of ova and sprem.
Luteinizing hormone(LH) causes ovuation in women;stimulates secretion of progesterone in women and testosterone in men.
Posterior Pituitary Gland
Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) stimulates water reabsorption by kidneys; also constricts vessels.
Oxytocin contracts uterine muscle during labor; releases milk from the mammary glands.
HORMONES OF THE THYROID AND PARATHYROID GLANDS
Thyroid Hormones(T3 &T4) Triiodothyronine (T3) AND TETRAIODOTHYRONINE(T4) secreted by the thyroid gland; control metabolic rate and regulate growth and development.
Calcitonin secreted by thyroid gland ; decreases plasma levels of calcium
Parathyroid hormone(PTH) secreted by the parathyroid glands ; increases plasma calcium.
HORMONES OF THE ADRENAL GLAND
Catecholamines-epinephrine & norepinephrine stimulates fight or flight response.
Steriods
Cortisol- glucocorticoid that helps regulate glucose, fat, and protein metabolism; is part of the stress response.
Aldosterone - Mineralocorticoid that causes the kidneys to reasbsorb sodium and water and excrete potassium; helps regulate fluid and electrolyte balance.
Sex Hormones - The androgens especially testosterone help develop the secondary sex characteristics in male and female.
HORMONES OF THE PANCREAS
Insulin secreted by beta cells of the islets of Langerhans;helps regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats ; lowers blood glucose.
Glucagon seceted by alpha cells of the islets og Langerhans ; rises blood glucose levels.
OTHER HORMONES
Estrogens & progesterone secreted by the ovaries; to stimulate the development of the ova and development of secondary characteristics in the female.
Testosterone secreted primarily by the testes; chief male androgen; stimulates development of sperm and secondary sex characteristics in the male.
Thymosins stimulates maturation of the T lymphocytes.
Melatonin secreted by the pineal gland; helps set the biorhythms.
