Hypothalamus Gland
-
1. Growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF)—stimulates release of growth hormone
-
2. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH)—stimulates release of FSH and LH
-
3. Thyrotropin releasing factor (TRF)—TSH secretion
-
4. Prolactin releasing hormone (PRH)—prolactin secretion
-
5. Growth hormone inhibiting factor (GHIF)—inhibits release of GHRF
-
6. Prolactin inhibiting factor (PIF)—inhibits release of PRH
-
Pituitary Gland
-
1. Growth hormone (GH)—acts as growth promoter
-
2. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)—thyroid hormone synthesis
-
3. Prolactin - milk synthesis
-
4. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) male—spermatogenesis
-
____
female—ovarian follicle growth estrogen synthesis
-
5. Luteinizing hormone (LH) male—testicular testosterone synthesis
-
____
female-ovulation progesterone synthesis
Pineal Gland
-
1. melatonin—possibly gonadal development
Thyroid Gland
-
1. thyroxin—growth, increased metabolism and oxygen consumption
Parathyroids Glands
-
1. parathyroid hormone (PTH)—increase blood calcium, lower blood phosphate levels
Adrenal Cortex
-
1. Hydrocortisone—increase carbohydrate levels in the blood, stress response, anti-inflammatory
-
2. Aldosterone—modulates sodium electrolyte levels, blood pressure
Adrenal Medulla
-
1. Epinephrine fight or flight response, multiple effects on nerves, muscles
Pancreas
-
1. Insulin—lower blood glucose levels, increase protein synthesis
-
2. Glucagon—raises blood glucose levels, opposes insulin action
Ovaries
-
1. Estradiol—female sexual development and behavior
2. Progesterone—corpus luteum, increase mammary gland growth, maternal behavior
Testes
1. Testosterone—male sexual development and behavior, pituitary FSH secretion
