QuestionAnswer
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Stimulates the development and secretions from the thyroid gland
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulates the growth and secretions of the adrenal cortex
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (Women)- stimulates the follicles to begin growing in ovulation, (Men)- stimulate the development of seminiferous tubules and sperm cells
Luteinizing Hormone stimulates formation of corpus luteum
Growth Hormone Promotes growth of bone and soft tissue by promoting protein synthesis
Prolactin (Affects females)- induces breast development during pregnancy and initiates milk secretion after childbirth
Antidiuretic Hormone Decreases urine output to preserve water
Oxytocin Stimulates contraction to the uterine muscles during labor, causes milk ejection into ducts as a result of nursing infant and functions in societal memory
Melatonin May help regulate menstrual cycle, inhibits onset of puberty in males, and may be related to seasonal active disorder and PMS
Thymosin Stimulates development of lymphatic organs and induces maturation/development of WBC's particularly T-lymphocytes
Thyroid Hormones Help regulate metabolism in all cells, increase metabolic rate and ATP production, increase oxygen consumption and blood oxygen levels, promote maturation/development of the nervous system
Calcitonin Decreases blood calcium levels by promoting bone deposition by inhibiting osteoclasts and stimulating osteoclasts
Parathyroid Hormone Helps maintain homeostasis of blood calcium, antagonist of calcitonin, raises blood calcium levels
Insulin Lowers blood glucose levels
Glucagon raises blood glucose levels
Somatostatin inhibits the release of insulin and glucagon, regulating the endocrine system and maintaining balance
Angiotensinogen A precursor to angiotensin, which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance, playing a key role in the RAAS
Thrombopoietin Stimulates the production of platelets from megakaryocytes in bone marrow, essential for blood clotting and maintaining homeostasis
Erythropoietin Stimulates production of RBCs in bone marrow in response to hypoxia in the blood, helping to maintain adequate oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood
Renin hormone secreted by the kidney that raises blood pressure, promotes sodium and water retention
Calcitriol Active form of vitamin D produced from its precursor (calcidiol), promoting the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestines and helping maintain bone growth, it plays a critical role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism
Cortisol Regulates metabolism, reduces inflammation, and helps the body respond to stress, often referred to as the "stress hormone"
Aldosterone Regulates sodium and potassium levels, and helps control blood pressure by promoting sodium retention in the kidneys, essential for maintaining fluid balance and blood pressure
Epinephrine Increases heart rate, dilutes airways, and boosts energy supply during stress
Norepinephrine Works alongside adrenaline to increase heart rate and blood flow to muscles while also constricting blood vessels
Testosterone The main male sex hormone, which is responsible for the development of male secondary characteristics, such as increased muscle mass, body hair, and a deeper voice, it also plays a critical role in sperm production and libido
Estrogen plays a role in modulating libido, erectile function, and spermatogenesis (males) regulation of the menstrual cycle, and maintenance of pregnancy, they are involved in the development of breast, widening of hips, and regulation of the menstrual cycle
