Hormone Functions

Growth Hormone

Makes you grow

Prolactin

Produces milk

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Stimulates Thyroid

Follicle Stimulating Hormone

Mature eggs+sperm

Luteinizing Hormone

Leyding Eggs; horny: Ovulation and testosterone (Ovaries and testes)

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone(ACTH)

Adrenal glands stimulate cortisol

Oxytocin

Love drug, contracts uterus

Anti-Diuretic hormone (ADH)

Stimulates kidneys to resorb more water, Anti-pee, stops from peeing then increases bp

Thyroid Hormone (T3, T4)

Increases metabolism and protien synthesisi

Calcitonin

High [Ca] —-Wants to lower it; also inhibits and excretes osteoclasts

Parathyroid Hormone

[Low Ca]—-wants to increase it; activates osteoclasts

Insulin

Low Blood Glucose——stimulates removal of glucose from blood

Glucagon

High blood glucose——Stimulates liver to release glucose into blood

Cortisol

Stress; stimulates variety of tissues to increase blood glucose

Testosterone

stimulates muscle hypertrophy, elevated during male social competition

Aldosterone

Stimulates kidneys to resorb water and sodium, and excrete potassium and hydrogen ions

Epinephrine/Norepinephrine

Flight or fight, increased heart rate, pupil dilation, key for deep breathing. For Norepinephrine, key for raising bp

Estrogen

stimulates regrowth of uterine lining of each month, promotes cervical plug formation, and inhibits immune function

hCG

Stimulates constriction of cervix, increased blood flow to uterine lining, extreme discomfort and nausea when mom is hungry (morning sickness) Covers baby

Erythropoietin

Makes red blood cells

Renin

RASS——increases bp

Angiotensinogen

Precursor for adipose tissue

Leptin

Makes you feel full

Ghrelin

Makes you hungry

Gastrin

stimulates gastric reflexes

GLP-1

Makes you not hungry

progesterone

Same things as estrogen, regrowth of uterine lining, plug formation and inhibits immune function
