- - - - Testosterone: Development of male sexual characteristics
    - - Progesterone: Regulates Menstrual cycle; prepares uterus for pregnancy
    - - Progesterone: Regulates Menstrual cycle; prepares uterus for pregnancy
      - Estrogen: menstrual cycle regulation; develops secondary sexual characteristics; female development
  - - - Insulin: decrease blood level by stimulating liver; stimulates adipose to store fat
      - Glucagon: Increase blood level with help of liver
    - - Outer cortex
        
        Cortisol: Synthesis of glucose from protein and fat; controls inflammation and allergy; slows down action of defense cells
        
        Aldosterone: maintains salt-water level by acting in kidneys; maintains blood pressure
      - Inner Medulla
        
        Epinephrine: known as adrenaline; acts with sympathetic nervous system during emergancy
        
        Norepinephrine: acts with epinephrine
  - - - Triiodothyronine: same as thyroxine but 5 times more effective
      - Thyroxine: increase energy release and protein synthesis rate; accelerates growth
      - Calcitonin: lowers calcium and phosphate ion concentrations
    - - Thymosins: affect production and differentiation of T lymphocytes
    - - Parathyroid Hormone: Regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism in blood
    - - Anterior Lobe
        
        Follicle-Stimulating Hormone: development of egg-containing follicles in ovaries; secrete estrogen (females); stimulates production of sperm cells (males)
        
        Luteinizing Hormone: promotes secretion of sex hormones; plays role in egg cell release (females)
        
        Adrenocorticotropic Hormone: controls secretion of some adrenal gland hormones
        
        Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone: Controls secretion of hormones from thyroid gland
        
        Prolactin: assists milk production after birth
        
        Growth Hormone: stimulates increase in size and body cell division rate
      - Posterior Lobe
        
        Antidiuretic Hormone: cause kidneys to conserve water
        
        Oxytocin: stimulates uterine contractions that are released during childbirth, Hormonal trigger for milk ejection
    - - Melatonin: regulation of circadian rhythms; released at night; controls sleep pattern (internal clock)
