🗑
Adrenocorticotropic hormone function is? (ATCH)(Anterior Pituitary Gland)   (Tropic hormone) Stimulates secretion of the adrenal cortex  
🗑
Follicle-stimulating hormone function is? (FSH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland)   (Tropic hormone) Female: Stimulates development of ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogens Male: Stimulates seminiferous tubules of testes to grow and produce sperm  
🗑
Luteinizing hormone function is? (LH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland)   (Tropic hormone)Female:Stimulates maturation of ovarian follicle and ovum; stimulates secretion of estrogen;triggers ovulation;stimulates development of corpus luteum Male: Stimulates interstitial cells of the testes to secrete testosterone  
🗑
Growth hormone function is? (GH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland)   Stimulates growth in all organsp; mobilizes food molecules, causing an increase in blood glucous concentration  
🗑
Prolactin (lactogenic hormone) function is? (Anterior Pituitary Gland)   Stimulates breast development during pregnancy and milk secretion after pregnancy  
🗑
Antidiurtic hormone function is? (ADH) (Posterior Pituitary Gland)   Stimulates retention of water by the kidneys  
🗑
Oxytocin function is? (OT) (Posterior Pituitary Gland)   Stimulates the release of milk into the breast ducts  
🗑
Releasing hormones functions are? (RHs) (Posterior Pituitary Gland)   Stimulate the anterior pituitary to release hormones  
🗑
Inhibiting hormones functions are? (IHs) (Posterior Pituitary Gland)   Inhibit the anterior pituirtary's secretion of hormones  
🗑
Thyroxine (T4) & Triiodothyronine (T3) function is? (Thyroid)   Stimulate the energy metabolism of all cells  
🗑
Calcitonin function is? (CT) (Thyroid)   Inhibits the breakdown of bone; causes a decreses in blood calcium concentration  
🗑
Parathroid hormone function is? (PTH) (Parathyroid)   Stimulates the breakdown of bone; causes an increase in blood calcium concentration  
🗑
Mineralocorticoids: aldosterone function is? (Adrenal Cortex)   Regulate eletrolyte and fluid homeostasis  
🗑

🗑
Glucagon function is? (Pancreatic Islets)   Stimulates glycogenolysis in lever, causing an increase in blood glucous concentration  
🗑
Insulin function is? (Pancreatic Islets)   Promote glucous entry into all cells, causing a decrease in blood glucous concentration  
🗑
Estrogen function is? (Ovary)   Promote development and maintenance of female sexual characteristics  
🗑
Progesterone function is? (Ovary)   Promotes conditions required for pregnancy  
🗑
Testosterone function is? (Testis)   Promotes development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics  
🗑
Thymosin function is? (Thymus)   Promote development of immune-system cells  
🗑
Melatonin function is? (Pineal)   Inhibites tropic hormones that affect the ovaries; may be involved in the body's internal clock and sleep cycle  
🗑
