the endocrine system lab 1: hormones and microscope slides

hormones released by thyroid gland

thyroid hormone (TH) and calcitonin

hormones released by parathyroid gland

parathyroid hormone (PTH)

hormones in anterior pituitary - tropic hormones

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone)

targets the thyroid gland and affects the growth of the thyroid

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)

targets the ovaries/testes and affects gamete production and activity of gonads

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone)

targets the ovaries/testes and affects gamete production and activity of gonads

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)

targets the adrenal cortex and regulates the adrenal cortex

anterior pituitary - other hormones

GH (growth hormone) and PRL (prolactin)

GH (growth hormone)

targets the liver/bone and affects body growth and most cells

PRL (prolactin)

targets the mammary glands and causes lactation

hormones in the posterior pituitary

Oxytocin and ADH (antidiuretic hormone)

Oxytocin

targets mammary glands/uterus and causes uterine contraction/lactation

ADH (antidiuretic hormone)

targets the kidneys and decreases urine output

TH (thyroid hormone)

consists of T3 and T4 and targets most cells and affects body metabolism

calcitonin

targets the bones/kidneys and decreases bone calcium but increases blood calcium

PTH (parathyroid hormone)

targets the bones/kidneys and decreases blood calcium and increases bone calcium

hormones in the adrenal gland - cortex

aldosterone, cortisol, hydrocortisone, corticosterone, and androgens

aldosterone

targets the kidneys and regulates water and electrolyte balance

cortisol

targets most cells and inhibits the immune response/promoting stress resistance

hydrocortisone

targets most cells and helps resist long-term stressors

corticosterone

targets the brain

androgens

targets the bones/muscles/integument and affects the sex hormones/secondary sexual characteristics

hormone in the adrenal gland - medulla

epinephrine/norepinephrine

epinephrine/norepinephrine

targets most cells and increases heart rate, lipolysis, constricts blood vessels, and fight/flight response

hormones in pancreas

insulin and glucagon

insulin

targets most cells and decreases blood sugar

glucagon

targets liver/adipose tissue and increases blood sugar

hormones in ovaries

estrogens and estrogen/progesterone

estrogens

targets most cells and affects secondary sexual characteristics

estrogen/progesterone

targets the uterus/mammary glands and causes menstruation

hormone in testes

testosterone

testosterone

targets most cells and affects secondary sexual characteristics

hormone in pineal gland

melatonin

melatonin

targets pituitary gland/brain/ovaries and affects biological rhythms and sleep

hormones in thymus

thymosin and thymopoietin

thymosin

targets the white blood cells and affects the development of T-cells and T-lymphocytes

thymopoietin

targets the white blood cells and affects the development of T-cells and T-lymphocytes

pituitary gland

thyroid

parathyroid

thymus

pancreas

adrenal gland

testes

ovary

pancreas at 40x

pancreatic islet

tropic hormones

hormones that have other endocrine glands as their targets

where are most of the tropic hormones produced and secreted?

the anterior pituitary
