Hormones
Male sex hormones
Testoterone
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. In male humans, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testes and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair. This hormone is produced in the testes.
Female sex hormones
Oestrogen
Oestrogen is a Female sex hormone released and produced by the ovaries. The hormone oestrogen is secreted by the ovaries. Oestrogen makes two things happen: it stops FSH being produced - so that only one egg matures in a cycle. it stimulates the pituitary gland to release the hormone LH.
Progesterone
Progesterone is another female sex organ. Progesterone is involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesterone levels are the highest when the womb lining is thickest, ready for a fertilised egg.
LH
LH otherwise known as Luteinizing hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland which is located at the base of the brain. LH stimulates estrogen and progesterone production from the ovary.
TSH
TSH otherwise known as (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) is released from the Thyroid gland. TSH is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
FSH
Follicle-stimulating hormone, this hormone stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg from one follicle at ovulation.
Adrenaline
This hormone is produced in the Adrenal Gland which is located just above the kidneys. This hormone is revealed when in a nerve racking situation such as stage fright or if you get attacked by a wild animal. This is known as a fight of flight response.
Diabetes
Type 1
Type 1 is a lack of insulin being produced by the pancreas. This is an issue because Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signalling the liver and muscle cells to take in glucose from the blood.
This could lead to an overflow of glucose. At this point the body will try to remove the glucose in anyway possible. This leads to needing to use the toilet more as well as needing to take in more food and drink. As glucose provides energy to the body you become tired a lot faster than a regular person without diabetes would.

Contraception
Contraceptive injection
The contraceptive injection contains a progestogen hormone called depo medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). Progestogen hormones are very similar to a woman's own hormone called progesterone.
Contraceptive pills
These pills contain progesterone to make the body think that it is all ready pregnant so that no egg is released by the ovaries and this means that if there is no egg no one can get pregnant.
glucagon
Glucagon is released when the levels of glucose in the blood is too low. Insulin makes the glucose turn into Glucagon for storage.
