| Hormones of Posterior Pituitary | all peptide ADH oxytocin |
| Hormones of Thyroid | TH (aa derivative) calcitonin (peptide) |
| Hormones of Parathyroid | peptide PTH |
| Hormones of Thymus | peptide thymosin (children only) |
| Hormones of Adrenal Medulla | epinephrine (aa derivative) |
| Hormones of Adrenal Cortex | all steroids cortisol aldosterone sex steroids |
| Hormones of islets of Langerhans | all peptide B cells - insulin A cells - glucagon D cells - somatostatin (SS) |
| Hormones of Testes | steroid, testosterone |
| Hormones of Ovaries/placenta | steroids estrogen progesterone |
| Hormones of Heart | peptide, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) |
| Hormones of Kidney | peptide, erythropoietin |
| GH | increase bone and muscle growth, increase cell turnover rt |
| prolactin | milk production |
| TSH | increase synth and release of TH from thyroid |
| ACTH | increase growth and secretory activity of adrenal cortex |
| LH | ovary: ovulation testes: testosterone syth |
| FSH | ovary: follicle development testes: spermatogenesis |
| ADH, vasopresin | kidney/ water retention |
| oxytocin | lactation, uterine contraction |
| TH | child: physical and mental development adult: increases metabolic rate and temperature |
| calcitonin | bone + kidney/ decreases serum [Ca2+] |
| PTH | bone + kidney + sm. intestine/ increases serum [Ca2+] |
| thymosin | T cell development in CHILDHOOD |
| epinephrine | rapid sympathetic stress response |
| cortisol | long term stress response |
| aldosterone | kidney/ increases Na+ reabsorption to raise bp |
| insulin | decrease blood glucose |
| glucagon | increase blood glucose |
| somatostatin (SS) | inhibit many digestive processes |
| testosterone | male characteristics, spermatogenesis |
| estrogen | female characteristics, endometrial growth |
| progesterone | endometrial secretion, pregnancy |
| atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) | kidney/ increases urination to decrease bp |
| erythropoietin | bone marrow/ increases RBC synth |
