Diseases
Galactorrhea
Inappropriate lactation, discharge of milk from the nipple. Occurs usually to women who dont breastfeed but also occurs in men, due to excess prolactin
Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth, refers to women and reflects excessive androgen production
Hypophysectomy

A sudden and dangerous increase in all of the manifestations of hyperthyroidism due to excessive amounts of circulating TH
Hormones Produced, Their Target Organs, And Their functions
Growth Hormone
Stimulates Growth
Bones and Muscles
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Tropic hormone responsible for the stimulation of the thyroid gland
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
Stimulates the adrenal cortex, the outer part of the adrenal gland to produce its hormones
Prolactin
stimulates the mammary glands of the breast to produce milk
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
stimulates the follicle cells of the gonads to produce gametes in the females and sperm in males
Luteinizing Hormone
stimulates the gonads to produce sex hormones estrogen in the females and testosterone in males
Antidiuretic Hormone
prevents water loss in he body by increasing the re uptake of water in kidneys and reducing blood flow to sweat glands
Oxytocin
Triggers uterine contractions during child birth and the release of milk during breastfeeding
Thyroid Hormone (Thyroxin and triiodothyronine
produces Calcitonin, triiodothryonine, and thyroxin
Calcitonin
reduces the concentration of calcium ions in the blood by aiding the absorption
Parathyroid Hormone
Stimulates the osteoclasts to break down the calcium containing bone matrix to release free calcium ions into the bloodstream
Cortisol
breaks down proteins and lipids to produce glucose
Aldosterone
Epinephrine/Norepinephrine
Insulin
Glucagon
Testosterone
Estrogen
Progesterone
Melatonin
Thyomyosin
