endocrine gland/organ hormones, type of stimulus, targets

1 hormone per gland

Anterior pituitary

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

Thyroid stimulating hormone

TRH

Thyroid gland

stimulate T3, T4 secretion

Posterior Pituitary

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

Antidiurhetic hormone

Nerve impulse causing increase blood solute concentration or decreasing volume

Kidneys

Stimulate to resorb water, reduce urine output

technically not a gland, stores and releases hormones, does not produce them

Thyroid

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine

Thyroid stimulating hormone

most cells

increases BMR, regulates tissue growth

Parathyroid

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

Function

Parathyroid hormone

Low blood calcium

Bones and kidneys

increases blood calcium

Zona glomerulosa of Adrenal Glands

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

mineralcorticoids (aldesterone)

Angiosten II, increase blood calcium

Kidney

increase resporption of sodium and water by kidney, more potassium in urine

Zona faasciculata of adrenal glands

glucorticoids

ACTH

Most body cells

break down fat and protein, inhibit immune response

Zona Reticularis of adrenal gland

Androgens

ACTH

bone, muscle, integument

female: growth of pubic hair, insignificant in males

Pancreas

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

Insulin

increase blood glucose levels

most cells

accelerate glucose input to cell, promotes glycogen synthesis

Ovaries

Hormone

Stimulus

Target

Estrogen and progesterone

LH, FSH

uterus, mammary gland

maturation into secondary sex characteristics

Testes

Testosterone

LH and FSH

most cells

maturations
