- - - - 1 ADH increases water retention in order to hydrate
      - Ocytocin influences maternal behavior and pair bonding
- - - - PTH increases calcium levels in the bloodstream
- - - - ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and secrete its own hormones
        
        FSH and LH acts on gonads to stimulate development of gametes and release hormones
        
        GH: stimulates cell growth as well as cell division and affects most body cells
        
        MSH: acts on melanocytes in the epidermis to stimulate melanin synthesis
        
        PRL: acts on mammary glands to stimulate milk production
        
        TSH: stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones
      - ACTH targets the Adrenal Gland
      - FSH and LH targets the testes in males and and ovaries in females
      - PRL targets the breasts
      - TSH targets the thyroid
      - GH targets tissue, liver, muscle, bones
      - MSH targets melanocytes
- - - - TRH targets the anterior pituitary
      - TH targets target cells
      - TSH targets the thyroid glands
      - TRH stimulates trhyrotrophic cells
        
        TH increases cellular metabolism which increases body temp
        
        TSH stimulates follicular cells
- - - - Cotrticosteriods target adrenal cortex
        
        Cotricosteriods are vital for life because it helps fix mistakes when something goes wrong in the immune system
- - - - Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythm and makes us drowsy
