CRH released from Hypothalmus
CRH action + ACTH released by APG
Hormone: Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, Triggered by: Lack of GH in children. Lack of IGF in adults. Sleep.
GHRH released from Hypothalmus
GHRH action + GH released by APG
Hormone: Growth hormone inhibiting hormone, Triggered by: Too much GH children or Too much IGF adults.
GHIH released from Hypothalmus
GHIH action - released of GH by APG
Hormone: Gonadoptropin releasing hormone GnRH, Triggered by: 1st trigger= Puberty, lack of sex steriods from gonads.
GnRH released from Hypothalmus
GnRH action + LH/FSH released by APG
Hormone: Produce Prolactin PRL, triggered by: PRH
PRL released by APG; Lactotropes
PRL action Milk production from mammory gland.
Hormone: Thyroid stimulating hormone TSH, triggered by: TRH
TSH released from APG; Thyrothrope
TSH action stimulates T3/T4
Hormone: Adrenocorticotropin ACTH, triggered by: Cortisol releasing hormone CRH
ACTH released from APG; corticotropes
ACTH action + cortisol release from the adrenal cortex
Hormone: Melanocytes stimulation hormone MSH, triggered by: Sunlight
MSH released from APG; corticotropes
MSH action + melanocyte to produce skin pigment
Hormone: Follicle stimulating hormone FSH, triggered by: GnRH
FSH released from APG; gonadotropes
FSH action + gamete maturation + spermatogenesis
Hormone: Lutenizing Hormone LH, triggered by GnRH
LH released from APG; gonadotropes
LH action + production of testosteron + production of estrogen and progesterone
Hormone: Growth Hormone GH, triggered by GnRH
GH released from APG; somatotropes
GH action direct action= + growth in kids +IGF released in liver
Hormones: Melatonin, triggered by Sleep routine
Melatonin released from Pineal Gland
Melatonin action Induces sleep
Hormone: Throxine T4, triggered by TSH
T4 released from Thyroid
T4 action Increase BMR
Hormone: Triiodothyronine T3, triggered by TSH
T3 released from Thyroid
T3 action Increase BMR
Hormone: Calcitonin, triggered by Increased CA# in blood
Calcitonin releaseed by Thyroid
Calcitonin action + CA# excretion by kidneys + CA# storage by bones
Hormone: Parathyroid Hormone PTH, triggered by Decrease of CA# in blood
PTH released by Parathyroid glands
PTH action + CA# reabsorption by kidney + CA# release by bone + CA# absorption by GI
Hormone: Epinephrine,triggered by flight or fight
Epi released by Adrenal medulla
Epi action Vasoconstriction GI Tract, reproduction, skin, hair, increase BV/BP
Hormone: Norepinephrine, triggered by flight or fight
NorE released by Adrenal Medulla
NorE action Dilated pupils, increase heart rate.
Hormone: Aldosterone, triggered by the RAAS cascade, decrease BP/BV
Aldosterone released by Adrenal Cortex
Aldosterone action + NA reabsorption by kidney
Hormone: Cortisol, triggered by ACTH
Cortisol released by Adrenal Cortex
Cortisol action Increase blood GLU for CNS, + lipogenesis
Hormone: Glucagon, triggered by Fasting/low levels of GLU, AA, and Fats in blood.
Glucagon released by Pancreas
Glucagon action Catabolic action- glycogenolysis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis
Hormone: Insulin, triggered by Eating/high levels of GLU, AA, and Fats in blood.
Insulin released by Pancreas
Insulin action Anabolic action= glycogenesis, lipogenesis, protein synthesis
