Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Adrenocorticotropic | anterior pituitary- adrenal cortex- releases steroid hormones |
| Antidiuretic | hypothalamus- kidneys- re absorption of water, increase blood volume and blood pressure |
| Follicle stimulating | anterior pituitary- ovaries/testes- physical maturation of sperm promotes follicle development |
| Growth | anterior pituitary- all cells- growth/ protein synthesis |
| Luteinizing | anterior pituitary- ovaries/testes- controls ovulation produces progesterone and testosterone |
| Oxytocin | hypothalamus-uterus/mammary gland- labor contractions/ milk ejection |
| Prolactin | anterior pituitary- mammary glands- promotes milk and gland development |
| Parathyroid | parathyroid gland- bone/ kidneys- increases calcium levels in body fluids |
| Triiodothyronine | Thyroid gland- most cells- increase metabolism 3 |
| Tetraiodothyronine | Thyroid gland- most cells- increases metabolism 4 |
| Calcitonin | Thyroid gland- bones/kidneys- decreases calcium in body fluids |
| Epinephrine | Adrenal gland- most cells- sympathetic nervous system responce |
| Mineralocorticoids- aldosterone | Adrenal cortex Zona glumerulosa- kidneys- an increase in renal absorption of sodium and water loss of potassium |
| Glucocorticoids- cortisol | Adrenal cortex Zona fasciculate- most cells- induces formation of glucose and glycogen anti-inflammatory |
| Renin | Kidney- angiotensinogen formation- Converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I restricts water and sodium loss |
| Erythopoietin | kidneys- red bone marrow- stimulates production and maturation and RBCs |
| Calcitroil | Kidneys- Intestines, kidneys, bones-stimulates calcium absorption releases calcium from bones |
| Insulin | Pancreas beta cells- most cells- uptake of glucose |
| Glucagon | Pancreas alpha cells- liver adipose tissue- release of stored gluecose |
| Androgen- testosterone | testes- most cells- maturation of sperm secondary sex characteristics |
| estrogen | ovaries- maturation of follicles secondary sex characteristics |
