| Hypothalamus Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone Target: | pituitary gland |
| Hypothalamus Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone Function: | decreases the release of growth hormone |
| Hypothalamus Gonadotropin-releasing hormone Target: | pituitary gland |
| Hypothalamus Gonadotropin-releasing hormone Function: | increases the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone |
| Hypothalamus Thyrotropin-releasing hormone Target: | pituitary gland |
| Hypothalamus Thyrotropin-releasing hormone Function: | increases the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone |
| Hypothalamus Corticotropin-releasing hormone Target: | pituitary gland |
| Hypothalamus Corticotropin-releasing hormone Function: | increases the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone |
| Hypothalamus Prolactin-releasing hormone Target: | pituitary gland |
| Hypothalamus Prolactin-releasing hormone Function: | stimulates the release of prolactin |
| Hypothalamus Prolactin-inhibitory factor; dopamine Target: | pituitary gland |
| Hypothalamus Prolactin-inhibitory factor; dopamine Function: | decreases the release of prolactin |
| Pituitary Growth hormone Target: | bone and muscle |
| Pituitary Growth hormone Function: | promotes growth and development; increases the rate of protein synthesis |
| Pituitary Follicle-stimulating hormone Target: | ovaries and testes |
| Pituitary Follicle-stimulating hormone Function: | promotes follicular development and the creation of estrogen in females; promotes spermatogenesis in males |
| Pituitary Luteinizing hormone Target: | ovaries and testes |
| Pituitary Luteinizing hormone Function: | promotes ovulation along with estrogen/progesterone synthesis from the corpus luteum in females; promotes testosterone synthesis in males |
| Pituitary Thyroid-stimulating hormone Target: | thyroid gland |
| Pituitary Thyroid-stimulating hormone Function: | increases the synthesis of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 |
| Pituitary Adrenocorticotropic hormone Target: | adrenal cortex |
| Pituitary Adrenocorticotropic hormone Function: | increases cortisol synthesis (adrenal steroids) |
| Pituitary Prolactin Target: | mammary glands |
| Pituitary Prolactin Function: | Allows for the process of lactation |
| Pituitary Oxytocin Target: | uterus and mammary glands |
| Pituitary Oxytocin Function: | increases contraction of uterine muscles; promotes release of milk from mammary glands |
| Pituitary Antidiuretic hormone Target: | kidneys |
| Pituitary Antidiuretic hormone Function: | increases water reabsorption; conserves water; increases blood pressure through stimulating contraction of muscles in small arteries |
| Thyroid Thyroxine (T4), Triiodothyronine (T3) Target: | all tissues |
| Thyroid Thyroxine (T4), Triiodothyronine (T3) Function: | Involved with normal development; increases cellular level metabolism |
| Thyroid Calcitonin Target: | plasma |
| Thyroid Calcitonin Function: | Increases calcium storage in bone; decreases blood calcium levels |
| Parathyroids Parathormone Target: | bone, kidney, intestinal mucosa |
| Parathyroids Parathormone Function: | Increases blood calcium |
| Adrenal Cortex Androgen Target: | ovaries and testes |
| Adrenal Cortex Androgen Function: | increases masculinization; promotes growth of pubic hair in males and females |
| Adrenal Cortex Aldosterone (mineralocorticoid) Target: | kidneys |
| Adrenal Cortex Aldosterone (mineralocorticoid) Function: | increases reabsorption of sodium ions by the kidneys to the blood; increases excretion of potassium ions by the kidney into the urine |
| Adrenal Cortex Cortisol (glucocorticoid) Target: | gastrointestinal system |
| Adrenal Cortex Cortisol (glucocorticoid) Function: | influences metabolism of food molecules; anti-inflammatory effect in large amounts |
| Adrenal Medulla Epinephrine Target: | cardiovascular and metabolic systems |
| Adrenal Medulla Epinephrine Function: | increases heart rate and force of contraction; increases energy production; vasodilation in skeletal muscle |
| Adrenal Medulla Norepinephrine Target: | cardiovascular and metabolic systems |
| Adrenal Medulla Norepinephrine Function: | vasoconstriction in skin, viscera, and skeletal muscles |
| Pancreas Glucagon Target: | liver |
| Pancreas Glucagon Function: | glucagon increases blood glucose by stimulating the conversion of glycogen to glucose |
| Pancreas Insulin Target: | all body systems |
| Pancreas Insulin Function: | insulin decreases blood glucose and increases the storage of fat, protein, and carbohydrates |
| Ovaries Estrogen, progesterone Target: | uterus and mammary glands |
| Ovaries Estrogen, progesterone Function: | involved in regulation of the female reproductive system and female sexual characteristics |
| Testes Testosterone Target: | pituitary gland |
| Testes Testosterone Function: | involved in the process of spermatogenesis and male sexual characteristics |
