- - - - External environment
      - Internal condition of the body
  - - - Oxytocin催產素
        
        peptide
      - ADH抗利尿激素
        
        peptide
      - Prolactin(PRL)
        
        protein
    - - FSH
        
        protein
      - LH
        
        protein
      - TSH
        
        protein
      - ACTH促腎上腺皮質素
        
        peptide
      - Endorphine
        
        peptide
      - GH (protein)
        
        Dwarfism (侏儒症), if too little GH is produced
        
        Gigantism (巨大畸形症), if too much GH is produced
- - - - Results from too little thyroid hormone in the blood
      - Can result from
        
        Dietary deficiencies of iodine碘
        
        A defective thyroid gland
    - - Results from too much thyroid hormone in the blood
      - Can lead to
        
        Profuse sweating
        
        High blood pressure
        
        Overheating
        
        Protruding eyeballs
    - - Calcitonin (降鈣素), which lowers calcium levels in the blood
      - Several hormones involved in controlling:
        
        Oxygen consumption
        
        Metabolism
        
        Development
- - - - secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine (正腎上腺素), hormones that
        
        Enable the body to respond to stress
        
        Produce the fight or flight response (打或逃反應)
        
        Stressful stimuli activate nerve cells in the hypothalamus that send signals to stimulate the adrenal medulla
    - - secretes corticosteroids (皮質類固醇)
        glucocorticoids (葡萄糖皮質素)
        
        Is also stimulated by the hypothalamus
        
        two hormones that provide a slower, longer-lasting response to stress
- - - - Promote the development of specific female features
      - Maintain the female reproductive system
    - - including progesterone (黃體酮或助孕素), are primarily involved in preparing the uterus(子宮) to support a developing embryo
    - - including testosterone (睪固酮) stimulate the development and maintenance of the male reproductive system
      - The different roles for androgens among vertebrates illustrate two central aspects of life resulting from Darwinian evolution
        
        The unity of life (一致性) (a consistent effect on the development of the male gonads)
        
        The diversity of life (the variety of secondary effects)
