Endocrine System (Endocrine Organs (Anterior pituitary (adrenocorticotropi…

- - - - bone/kidneys: increases calcium absorption in small intestine, decreases calcium loss in kidneys
  - - - kidney: regulates electrolyte concentration in the body
    - - liver: regulates blood glucose levels, lipid and protein metabolism
    - - sex organs: protein synthesis in sex organ cells
  - - - increase metabolism, energy use, supports development
    - - kidneys/bone: increases calcium loss in kidneys, reduces osteoclast bone resorption
  - - - kidneys/blood vessels - stimulates water reabsorption in kidneys and vasoconstriction in blood vessels (raises b.p.)
    - - uterus/mammary glands - females: increases smooth muscle contraction in uterus and milk ejection in mammary glands. males: increase smooth muscle contraction in reproductive tract
  - - - many cells: fight or flight response
  - - - adrenal cortex - stimulates to secrete its own hormones
    - - many tissues - stimulates cell growth/division, stimulates liver to make insulin-like growth factor
    - - gonads - regulate gonad's hormone production and production of gametes
    - - thyroid gland - regulates release of thyroid hormone
    - - epidermis - stimulates melanin synthesis
    - - mammary gland - breast milk and mammary gland production
  - - - brain: makes us sleepy
- - - - immune cells: stimulates growth/differentiation of T-lymphocytes
  - - - digestive organs: controls secretory activity and motility
  - - - liver/adipose: increase blood glucose
    - - liver, body cells: decrease glucose levels
    - - alpha and beta cell of pancreas: slows insulin and glucagon release
    - - delta cells of pancreas: suppresses somatostatin secretion
  - - - reproductive organs: males, increases reproductive organ development and sperm production
    - - gonads: inhibits follicle stimulating hormone secretion
  - - - small intestine: increase calcium absorption
    - - bone: increase erythrocyte production and maturation
  - - - uterus (females): regulates period, increases growth of uterus lining, increases mammary gland growth
    - - uterus (females): inhibits secretion of follicle stimulating hormone
  - - - anterior pituitary: increases secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone
    - - anterior pituitary: increases secretion of follicle stimulating hormone and lutinizing hormone
    - - anterior pituitary: increase growth hormone secretion
    - - anterior pituitary: increases secretion of prolactin
    - - anterior pituitary: increases secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone
    - - anterior pituitary: decreases secretion of growth hormone
    - - anterior pituitary: decreases secretion of prolactin
    - - posterior pituitary
    - - posterior pituitary
