ENDOCRINE ORGANS (Anterior Pituitary (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH),…

- - - - stimulates production of
        corticosteroid homones
  - - - Stimulates growth of ovarian follicles
    - - Stimulates sperm production
  - - - Stimulates ovulation, estrogen,
        and progesterone synthesis in
        corpus lutetium of ovary
    - - Stimulates androgen
        synthesis in testes
  - - - Stimulating thyroid hormone
        synthesis and secretion
  - - - Females: Mammary glands
        
        Stimulates milk production
        in mammary glands
      - Males: interstitial cells in testes
        
        May play a role in
        the sensitivity of the
        interstitial cells to LH
  - - - Stimulates increased growth
        and metabolism in target;
        Stimulates synthesis of somatomedin
        in the liver to stimulate growth
        at epiphyseal plate
- - - - Kidney cells
        
        Regulate electrolyte composition
        & concentration in body fluids
  - - - Liver cells
        
        Stimulate lipid and
        protein metabolism;
        regulate blood glucose
        levels
  - - - Protein synthesis in sex organs
- - - - Stimulates reabsorption of water from
        tubular fluid in kidneys; Stimulates
        vasoconstriction in arterioles of body,
        thereby raising blood pressure
  - - - Stimulates smooth muscle
        contraction in uterine wall;
        Stimulates milk ejection from
        mammary glands
    - - Stimulates contraction of smooth
        muscle of male reproductive tract
- - - - Reduces calcium levels
        in body fluids, decreases
        bone resorption by osteoclasts
        and increases calcium loss
        through kidneys
  - - - Increases calcium levels in blood
        through bone resorption; Increases
        calcium absorption by small intestine by
        calcitriol, decreases calcium
        loss through the kidneys
- - - - Increases metabolism, oxygen
        use, growth, and energy use;
        supports and increases rate
        of development
- - - - Work with the sympathetic
        division of the Autonomic Nervous System
        to stimulate fight-or-flight response
- - - - Helps regulate a circadian
        rhythm (24 body clock)
- - - - Increases secretion of
        adrenocorticotropic hormone
        (ACTH)
  - - - Increases secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
  - - - Increases secretion of growth hormone (GH)
  - - - Increases secretion of prolactin (PRL)
  - - - Increases secretion of
        thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
  - - - Decreases secretion of growth hormone (GH)
  - - - Decreases secretion of prolactin (PRL)
- - - - Promotes calcium
        absorption in small intestine
  - - - Stimulates erythrocyte
        production and maturation
- - - - Inhibits secretion of
        follicle-stimulating hormone
- - - - Increases blood
        glucose levels, glycogen
        break down in liver cells,
        lipid breakdown in adipose cell
  - - - Decreases glucose levels
        in body fluids, glucose transport
        into target cells; Promotes glycogen
        and lipid formation and storage
  - - - Slows release of insulin and
        glycogen to slow rate of
        nutrient absorption during digestion
  - - - Suppresses somatostatin
        secretion from delta cells
- - - - Stimulates and promotes
        the differentiation, growth,
        and maturation of T-lymphocytes
