Endocrine Glands (Adrenal Cortex (Secretes steroid hormones-…

- - - - Targets the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
    - - Testes, ovaries, and adrenal glands
    - - Target the kidney
- - - - Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
        
        Targets the Adrenal Cortex
      - Growth Hormone (GH)
        
        Targets most tissues
      - Follicle-Stimulating
        Hormone (FSH)
        
        Targets the Gonads
      - Prolactin (PRL)
        
        Targets the mammary glands as well as other sex accessory organs
      - Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
        
        Targets the thyroid gland
      - Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
        
        Targets the Gonads
- - - - Oxytocin
        
        Released due to sensory nerve impulses sent to the hypothalamus (i.e. suckling and childbirth)
        
        Targets the uterus, mammary glands, and testes
      - Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
        
        Secreted when osmoreceptor neurons respond to an increase in plasma osmolality
        
        Targets the Kidney
- - - - Targets liver and adipose tissue
        
        Secretions occur when the plasma glucose concentration and insulin falls leading to glycogenolysis
    - - Targets skeletal muscles, liver, and adipose tissue
        
        Secretions occur when there is an increase in plasma glucose
- - - - Produced when one MIT and one DIT molecules are combined
        
        Targets liver and kidneys
    - - Secreted by Parafollicular Cells which inhibits the activity of osteoclasts
        
        Targets bones and kidneys
    - - Produced when two DIT molecules are modified and coupled together
        
        Targets liver and kidneys
- - - - Targets the bones, kidneys, and intestines
        
        The increase in PTH promotes an increase in blood calcium levels which later on elicits a negative feedback inhibition
- - - - Targets blood vessels and muscles
    - - Targets blood vessels and muscles
- - - - Secretion regulated by the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN) by hypothalamic control of the sympathetic neurons
      - Target organ is the SCN which is within the brain
