- - - - thyroid stimulating hormone
        
        controls the functioning of the thyroid
      - adrenocorticotrophic hormone
        
        it regulates the structure and the functioning of the adrenal cortex
      - growth hormone
        
        brings about body growth by the synthesis and deposition of proteins in the tissue, growth of muscles, retention of calcium and control of metabolism
      - leutinizing or interstitial cell stimulating hormone
        
        in males it is known as the ICSH and stimulates the secretion of testoesteron hormone from the leydig's cells of the testis
        
        in females it is known as the LH and involved in the further development of the egg and its release by the rupturing of the ovarian follicle . it stimulates the developement of the corpus Leutum which secrets progesterone hormone
      - gonadotrophin hormone
      - prolactin
        
        stimulates lactation and the growth of mammary glands during pregnancy

        in females it stimulates development and maturation of ovary follicles , producing egg cells and the female sex hormone(estrogen)
        
        in males it induces spermogenizsis in testis
      - intermedin
        
        it stimulates the distribution of the concentration of melanin in the epidermal cells of the skin
  - - - oxytocin
        
        bird hormone, milk ejection hormone and produces vasodialation
      - vasopressin
        
        it regulates the reabsorption of water from the nephrite filtrate in DCT and collecting tubules and produces vasoconstriction
- - - - similar in function but has greater vasoconstriction in muscles
    - - fight, flight and fright
