Pituitary hormones

Anterior: TSH, GH, LH, FSH, ACTH, Prolactin

Posterior: stores oxytocin, ADH

TSH

thyroid stimulating hormone; stimulates secretion of T3 and T4

GH

stimulates growth

LH

stimulates ovulation, etc.

FSH

stimulates egg and sperm production

ACTH

stimulates release of cortisol, etc.

Prolactin

stimulates milk production

Oxytocin

unterine contraction and milk ejection

ADH

Pineal gland hormones

melatonin

Hypothalamus hormones

oxytocin and ADH

Thyroid cells and hormones

Follicle cells: T4, T3

Parafollicular cells: Calcitonin

Calcitonin

decreases blood calcium levels

Parathyroid cells and hormones

Chief cells: PTH

PTH

increases blood calcium levels

Adrenal gland parts and hormones

Zona glomerulosa: mineralocorticoids (aldosterone)

Zona fasciculata: glucocorticoids (cortisol)

Zona reticularis: gonadocorticoids (androgens)

Medulla: chromaffin cells: epinephrine and norepinephrine

Aldosterone

mineral balance

Cortisol

glucose metabolism

Androgens

male hormones

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

fight or flight

Pancreas cells and hormones

Alpha cells: glucagon

Beta cells: insulin

Delta cells: somatostatin (inhibitory)

Glucagon

increases blood glucose

Insulin

decreases blood glucose

Somatostatin

inhibits body functions

Thymus hormones

thymosin, thymopoietin

thymosin and thymopoietin

stimulates development of T cells
