Function | Gland | Hormone |
Stimulates milk secretion by mammory glands | Anterior | PRL-Prolactin |
Growth and Hormone of ovarion follicles; growth of testes; development of sperm | Anterior | FSH-follicle |
Causes Development of corpus luteum; stimulates testosterone secretion (ovulation in females) | Anterior | LH-luteninizing hormone |
Causes contraction of uterine muscles ; causes milk ejection from mammory glands | Posterior Pituitary | oxytocin |
Promotes reabsorption of water in kidneys | Posterior | ADH-antiduretic hormone |
Increase Metabolic Rate | thyroid | t4-t3 |
Decreases calcium level in blood | thyroid | Calcitonin |
regulates exchange of calcium b/w blood and bones | parathyroid | PTH-parathyroid hormone |
Increase blood pressure and pulse rate | adrenal medulla | Epinephrine Norpinephrine |
Aids in Metabolism | adrenal cortex | glucocorticoids |
regulates electroylytes and water balance | adrenal cortex | Mineralocorticoids |
Influences secondary sexual characteristics | adrenal cortex | Sex Hormones |
Metabolism of glucose (lowers blood sugar) | Pancreas | Insulin |
Stimulates liver to release glucose(increase blood sugar) | Pancreas | Glucagon |
Stimulates growth and development of testes and penis; development of secondary sexual characteristics | Testes | testosterone |
Growth of Sexual organs; development of secondary sexual characteristics | Ovaries | Estrogen |
Development of secretory tissue of mammory glands; aids in maintaining pregnancy | Ovaries | Progesterone |
growth of T-cells for immunity | Thymus | Thymosin |
regulates mood, sexual development,and response to light in the environment | Pineal | Pineal |
Promotes Growth of body tissues | anterior | GH-growth hormone |
located behind the eyes, Infundibulum-stalk that connects the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus, master gland, controlled by hypothalamus, divided into two parts (anterior/posterior) | Pituitary gland | Master Gland |
Largest Endocrine gland, Located in the neck, has two oval lobes on either side of larnyx, connected by a band called an isthimus | Thyroid gland | Isthimus/ Largest endocrine gland |
tiny glands in the thyroids posterior capsule | Parathyroid | Tiny glands |
located ontop of the kidneys | Adrenal Glands | Located ontop of kidneys |
made up of a small group of cells | pancreas | islets/islets of langerhan Common condition is diabetes mellatus-when islets cells fail to produce enough insulin or the body cells do not respond to insulin |
Female-ovaries Male-testes | Sex Glands | Male/Female |
Found in upper part of the chest, superior to the heart | Thymus | upper part of chest |
Located posterior to midbrain | Pineal | posterior to midbrain |
Stimulates Thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones | Anterior Pituitary | TSH |
Stimulates Adrenal Cortex to produce cortical hormones | Anterior Pituitary | ACTH |
