Term | Definition |
Growth Hormone (GH) | Anterior pituary Gland-causes cell growth |
Prolactin | Anterior Puitatry gland- stimulates milk production after birth |
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) | Anterior puitatry cland-controlls thyroid gland secretions |
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone | Anterior puitatry gland- controlls secretions of hormones from adrenal cortexon adrenal gland (Kidney) |
FSH- Anterior puitaty gland | Anterior puitatry gland stimulates follicles to produce egg and sperm |
LH | Anterior puitatary gland- pitutary gland |
Antidiuretic Hormone | posterior puitary gland- tells kidneys to conserve water and increase blood pressure |
Oxytocin | posterior puitary gland- contracts uterine muscles and muscles of milk secreting glands |
Thyroxine | Thyroid gland- regulates metabolism,acclerates growth,and stimulates nervous system activity. Also needs Iodine.Important for normal growth and devolepment. |
Triiodothyronine | Thyroid Gland- Does the same thing as Thyroxine. Also needs Iodine.Important for normal grwoth and devolepment. |
Calcitonin | Thyroid gland- inhibitys bone cells from reabsorbing calcium, increases loss of calcium by kidneys- counteracts parathyroid hormone. |
Parathyroid hormone | Parathyroid- increases calcium concentration in the bloodstream. Decreases it in the kidneys. Targets bones, kidneys, and intestines. |
Epinepherine | Adrenal Medulla- targets heart, blood vessles, airways, brain, liver, metabolic rate, stimulated by syphathetic nervous system to produce fight for flight mode. Adrenal Medulla- Increases heart rate, dialates blood vessels, raises blood pressure. |
Norepinephine | adrenal medulla- does the same thing as epinepehrine |
Alsosterone- | adrenal cortex- targets kidneys, regulates electrolytes, tells kidneys when to conserve sodium ions, and get rid of potassium ions. adrenal cortex- Maintains homeostasis of blood volume by causing water retention. |
cortisol (targets liver) | adrenal cortex- inhibits protein synthesis in tissues, promotes fatty acid release from fatty tissue, stimuleates liver to make glucose from protein sources. It keeps glucose level normal between meals, ACTH from piuuary gland regulates this hormone |
Pancreas | produces digestive enzymes and hormones. Also releases hormones to regulate sugar concentration of the blood |
melatonin | pineal gland- helps regulate day/ night cycle. affects reproduction cycles , sleep cycles, inhibits secretion of gonadotropic hormones. |
Ovaries and testies | produce estrogen, proesterone and testosterone. effects specific hormones or body cells |
prostaglandins | short lived hormone that affects cells within that organ |
