- - - - Thyrotropin(TSH): Thyroid-Stimulating hormone stimulates the thyroid gland in order to secrete the hormone T4. They help to regulate the production of thyroid hormones. Also T4 has an effect on metabolism. T4 is also known as thyroxine.

    - - Karen Dominguez : Thyroxine - stimulate the consumption of oxygen and thus the metabolism of all cells and tissues in the body
      - Karen Dominguez : triiodothyronine - helps maintain muscle control, brain function and development, heart and digestive functions. It also plays a role in the body’s metabolic rate and the maintenance of bone health.
      - Joell Lassiter: calcitonin- Helps control the body's use of calcium. Made by the thyroid.
    - - Glucagon(GCG)-counteracts the actions of insulin, thereby increases blood glucose levels.
      - Insulin(INS)-Regulate blood sugar levels

        Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the sleep cycle and pattern. It causes you to feel tired and can help you fall asleep faster. If taking it as a supplement it can also cause grogginess in the morning, an increase in blood pressure, a decrease in body temperature, anxiety and confusion.

        Seratonin is a hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings, and happiness. It is usually found in the digestive system.
      - Norbely Gonzalez - Function: Although its functions are not fully understood, researchers know that it is in charge of processing and regulating the light-dark cycle.
    - - (Shuvon) Thymosin: Stimulates production/maturation of T-cells and development of plasma cells/antibodies
        
        Targets: Lymph nodes, T-Cells, B-Cells/Plasma Cells
      - (Shuvon) Thymopoeitin: Affects rate at which skin and other cells age; immune regulation (tells T-cells where to go)
        
        Target Cells: T-cells, skin cells (keratinocytes)

    - - Michael Velez: Cortisol- Enhances the brain's production of glucose. It also helps repair tissues and manages stress.(mayoclinic.org)
      - Lisberny nunez-Epinephrine: Is a fight response that caused by chemicals that acts as both neurotransmitter and hormones in the body. Increase the heart rate and blood pressure and expanding the air passage of the lungs and enlarging the pupil of the eye and distributing blood to the muscle and alter the body metabolism. Target organ : adrenal medulla or adrenal gland
      - Lisberny nunez: Norepinephrine: increase heart rate and blood pumping from the heart. Increases blood pressure and help break down fat and increase blood sugar levels to provide more energy to the body. Target organ : adrenal medulla or adrenal gland
      - Michael Velez: Aldosterone- Regulates salt and water in the body and regulates blood pressure.
    - - Ovaries & Testes
        
        Nadia Lubbos: Luteinizing hormone (LH) : stimulates ovulation in females and the synthesis of adrogen in males
        
        Olivia Barat Testes - an organ that produces sperm (male reproductive
        cells)

        Olivia Barat Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)
        The Anti-Müllerian hormone is a protein hormone that is important in the development of the reproductive tract in a male fetus and is also produced (before birth) by the testes and ovaries. https://www.yourhormones.info/hormones/anti-muellerian-hormone/

        It's role is to maintain the corpus luteum so that it continues to produce estrogen and progesterone.
        
        Target tissue: Corpus Luteum
        Progesterone (P4 or P)

        It helps maintain the fertilization of eggs by maintaining a uterine lining to create a habitable environment. It also prohibits the muscle contractions in the uterus that would cause the body to reject an egg.
        
        Target tissue: Uterus
      - Tejal Ganesh Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): allows for ovulation in women & promotes sperm production in men. Target organs: ovaries & testes ![Follicle-Stimulating-Hormone-333x296 (1)](attached://2cf0de135e5d578e53754a2578480a86 98x87
    - - Tejal Ganesh Oxytocin (OT): contracts uterus after 40 weeks & helps with lactation in women. It allows for contraction of the reproductive tract in men, to move the sperm.Target Organs:uterus, breasts, placenta, testes
    - - Alana LoRe':angiotensinogen (ARB):it is a protein hormone, component of the renin- angiotensin system. Functions as a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance and targets vascular tissue, uterus, adrenal cortex
      - Alana LoRe': insulin (INS): it is a peptide hormone secreted by B cells. It functions to regulate blood glucose levels, regulate carbohydrates, regulate lipid and protein metabolism, and promotes cell division, and targets the liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue
    - - Kidneys: responsible for removing waste, extra fliud, and acid from the body to maintain a balence of minerals and salts (such as sodium and potassium) in the blood. (Isabella P.)
        
        (Isabella P.) Erythropoietin (EPO): a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. The formation of erythocytes leads to the synthesis of hemoglobin which transports oxygen in the blood. The body uses a feedback system to maintain a sufficent amount of hemoglobin and RBCs--producng EPO until stable and then releasing the hormone into the urine.
