Endocrine System (Endocrine Glands (organs) (Anterior pituitary (Major…

- - - - Growth hormone
        
        Stimulates growth of all cells & growth at epiphyseal plate
      - Thyroid stimulating hormone
        
        Stimulates thyroid to produce hormone
      - Adrenocorticotropic hormone
        
        Stimulates hormone release from adrenal gland cortex
      - Gonadotropins
        
        Follicle stimulating hormone
        
        Formation of ova (females)/sperm (males)
        
        Luteinizing hormone
        
        Stimulates ovulation (females)/produces androgen (males)
      - Prolactin
        
        Stimulates milk synthesis in breast tissue
  - - - Thyroid hormone
        
        Increases rate of metabolism
      - Calcitonin
        
        Decreases activity of osteoclasts in children
  - - - Parathyroid hormone
        
        Increases blood calcium levels when too low
  - - - Corticosteroids (3 zones)
        
        Zona glomerulosa
        
        Secretes mineralocorticoids (kidneys reabsorb water/sodium)
        
        Zona fasciculata
        
        Secretes glucocorticoids (normalizes blood glucose level, deal with stress)
        
        Zona reticularis
        
        Secretes glucocorticoids (same) & androgens (becomes testosterone & estrogen in other tissue)
  - - - W/ islet cells
        
        Alpha cells
        
        Secrete glucagon (increase blood glucose)
        
        Beta cells
        
        Secrete insulin (decrease blood glucose)
  - - - Testosterone
  - - - Estrogen
      - Progesterone
  - - - Thymic hormones
        
        Cause T lymphocytes to become immunocompetent
  - - - Epinephrine
      - Norepinephrine
