Endocrine System (Endocrine Organs (Posterior Pituitary Gland (Thyroid…

- - - - Thyroid - Regulates the release of thyroid hormone
    - - Mammary Glands - Regulates gland growth and milk production.
    - - Gonads - Influence reproductive systems by regulating hormone synthesis as well as help with the production of gametes in both males and females.
    - - Adrenal Cortex - Stimulates this gland to produce and secrete its own hormone.
    - - Most tissues - stimulates cell growth and cell division.
    - - Gonads
        
        Influence reproductive systems by regulating hormone synthesis as well as help with the production of gametes in both males and females.
    - - Integument - stimulates rate of melanin production and the distribution
  - - - Kidneys and blood vessels - vasoconstriction of blood vessels, increase water retention from kidney tubules
    - - Reproductive Organs - Females: contracts uterine wall during childbirth and milk ejection from mammry glands. Males: induces muscles contraction during ejaculation.
  - - - Most tissue - increase metabolic rate, help regulate bone growth, etc
    - - Responsible for transporting thyroid hormones
  - - - Bones and Kidneys - Activated when calcium levels are low. Simulates reabsorption of bone and prevents loss of calcium during formation of urine.
  - - - Bodily Fluids - regulate composition and concentration of electrolytes
    - - Blood - Regulate glucose levels in the bloods
    - - Gonads - Male sex hormone. Female: Some is converted to estrogen
  - - - Heart - increases heart rate
    - - Heart - Increases heart rate
  - - - Brain - helps with sleep cycle
- - - - Anterior Pituitary - Increase ACTH secretion
    - - Anterior Pituitary - Increase secretion of FSH and LH
    - - Anterior Pituitary - Increases secretion of GH
    - - Anterior Pituitary - Increase secretion of prolactin
    - - Anterior Pituitary - Increase secretion of TSH
    - - Anterior Pituitary - Decrease secretion of GH
    - - Anterior Pituitary
        
        Decrease Secretion of PRL
  - - - Blood - increases the bloods ability to transport oxygen
  - - - Liver - increases blood glucose levels
    - - Liver, body cell - promotes uptake of glucose in cells
  - - - Lymphatic System - stimulates production of T-lymphocytes
  - - - Stomach - secretion of gastric acid
  - - - Reproductive Organs - Help with production of sperm cells
  - - - Reproductive Organs - stimulate the growth of the egg.
