| Anterior Pituitary - Adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) non-steroid tropic | stimulates adrenal cortex to release its hormone |
| Anterior Pituitary - Follicle-stimulating (FSH) non-steroid tropic | stimulates eggs to mature and production of sperm |
| Anterior Pituitary - Luteinizing (LH) non-steroid tropic | makes ovulation occur, produces testosterone |
| Anterior Pituitary - Growth hormone (GH) | increase anabolism, promotes growth and increases blood glucose. |
| Anterior Pituitary - Prolactin | develops breast for milk lactaction and production, stimulates milk let down. |
| Posterior Pituitary - Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) | decrease urine production and increase water reabsorption |
| Posterior Pituitary - Oxytocin (OT) | stimulates labor and release of milk |
| Hypothalamus - ADH/Oxytocin | produces the hormones for the posterior pituitary |
| Hypothalamus - Releasing hormone and Inhibiting hormone | communicates tp anterior pituitary and encourages release or inhibits hormones |
| Thyroid Gland only gland that stores its own hormone- Triiodothyronine T3 | stimulates cellular meatabolism |
| Thyroid Gland only gland that stores its own hormone- Thyroxine T4 | stimulate cellular meatabolism |
| Thyroid Gland only gland that stores its own hormone- Calcitonin | decrease blood calcium by stopping bone breakdown |
| Parathyroid Gland - Parathyroid hormone (PTH) | increase blood calcium by increasing bone breakdown |
| Adrenal Glands - Mineralocorticoids or MC Aldosterone | decrease urine, increase water retention, increase sodium,decrease potassium |
| Adrenal Glands - Glucocorticoids Cortisol | increase blood glucose maintain normal BP Anti-inflammatory effect Anti-immunity/antiallergy |
| Adrenal Glands - Androgens | stimulates female sex drive but does nothing in men |
| Adrenal Medulla - Epinephrine (Epi) and Norepinephrine (NR) | responsible for the "flight or Fight" response to danger |
| Pancreatic Islets - Glucagon | increase blood glucose and produced by the Alpha cells |
| Pancreatic Islets - Insulin | decrease blood sugar and comes from the Beta cells |
| Ovary - estrogen | Develops the female body iniates the menstrual cycle |
| Ovary-Progesterone | Promotes condition for pregnancy |
| Testes-Testosterone | Responsible for the male body-voice change-beard growth and maturation of the external genitals |

| Pineal Gland - Melatonin | Biological clock...responsible for the trigger of puberty in females...sleep cycle...internal clock |
| Stomach - Ghrelin | Boosts appetite... slows metabolism ...reduces fat burning |
