Endocrine Hormone Chart pg 198

hormones from the anterior pituitary gland

growth, TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin, ACTH

hormones from posterior pituitary gland

ADH and oxytocin

hormones from thyroid gland

T3/T4 and calcitonin

hormones from parathyroid gland

PTH

hormones from adrenal gland- zona glomerulosa

aldosterone

hormones from adrenal gland- zona fasciculata

cortisol

hormones from adrenal gland- zona reticularis

androgens

hormones from adrenal medulla

epinephrine and norepinephrine

hormones from pancreas

insulin and glucagon

hormones from testes

testosterone

hormones from ovaries

estrogen and progesterone

function of growth hormone

gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, protein breakdown, produce insulin like GF

function of TSH

growth and development of thyroid and synthesis of thyroid hormones

function of FSH

product of factors that bind to testosterone; production of estrogen and maturation of ovarian follicles

function of LH

development of gonads, produce gonad hormones, ovulation

function of prolactin

development of mammary glands and milk production

function of ACTH

growth and development of adrenal cortices; release of adrenal steroids

function of ADH

water reabsorption from kidney and increase bloood volume

function of oxytocin

uterine contraction and milk let-down reflex

function of T3/T4

metabolic rate, thermoregulation, growth and development, synergism

function of calcitonin

inhibit osteoclast under certain conditions (low blood calcium concentration)

function of PTH

increase calium reabsorption, indirectly increase osteoclast activity

function of aldosterone

increase sodium and water retention, increase potassium and hydrogen ion loss, regulate BP

function of cortisol

increase gluconeogenesis, protein breakdown and lipolysis; inhibit inflammatory response

function of androgens

can be converted to testosterone and likely responsible for female pubic hair development and libido

function of EPI/NOR

increase rate and force of heart contractions, dilate bronchioles, constricrt blood vessels to digestive and urinary organs, increase metabolic rate and dilate pupils

function of insulin

stimulate glucose uptake and stimulate glucogenesis and lipogenesis

function of glucagon

stimulate gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis adn ketogenesis; stimulate fat and protein breakdown

function of testosterone

androgenic and anabolic effects

function of estogen

stimulate development of female secondary sex characteristics, regulate cycle, etc

function of progesterone

prep body for pregnancy, support fetal development, etc
