Question | Answer |
---|---|
Adrenal Cortex | aldosterone; androgens;cortisone |
Adrenal medulla | epinephrine; norepinephrine |
Ovaries | estrogen; progesterone |
Pancreatid islets | glucagon; insulin |
Parathyroid glands | PTH |
Pineal gland | melatonin |
Pituitary gland | ACTH (adrenocrticotropic); ADH (adntidiuretic hormone); FSH (follicle stimulating hormone); GH (growth hormone); LTH (lactogenic hormone); LH (luteinizing hormone); OXT (oxytocin); TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) |
Placenta | HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) |
Thymus | thymosin |
Thyroid gland | calcitonin; thyroxine (T4); triiodonthyronine(T3) |
Works with parathyroid to regulate calcium levels in blood and tissues | calcitonin |
Regulates the rate of metabolism | T3 & T4 |
Plays important role in immune system | thymosin |
stimulates secretion of hormones by thyroid gland | TSH |
Stimulates development of male secondary sex characteristics | testosterone |
Testicles | Testosterone |
Stimulates secretion of hormones required to maintain pregnancy | HCG |
Stimulates uterine contractions, causes mild to flow after birth | oxytocin |
Stimulates ovulation in female, testtosterone secretion in male | LH |
Stimulates and mantains the secretion of breast milk | LTH |
Regulates growth of bone, muscle and other body tissues. | GH |
FSH | Stimulates growth of ova in female, sperm in male |
Helps control BP by reducing the amount of water excreted | ADH |
ACTH | Stimulates the grwoth and secretions of the adrenal cortex |
Melatonin | Influences the sleep/wake cycle |
Works with calcitonin to regulate calcijm levels in blood and tissues | PTH |
Glucagon | Increases level of glucose in bloodstream |
Regulates the transport of glucose to body cells and stimulates conversion of excess glucose to glycogen for storage | Insulin |
Progesterone | Completes preparation of the uterus for possible pregnancy |
Estrogen | Develops and maintains female secondary sex characteristics and regulates menstrual cycle |
Stimulates the sympathetic nervous system | Norepinephrine |
Epinephrine | Stimulates the sympathethic nervous system |
Cortisol | Rebulates metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Also acts as an anti-inflammatory |
Influence sex-related characteristics | androgen |
Aldosterone | Aids in regulating levels of salt and water in the body |
