Brain Region: 1)Hypothalamus= Connects nervous and endocrine systems, Controls pituitary gland, Produces releasing hormones 2)Pituitary Gland (“Master Gland”)= A) Anterior Pituitary-Hormones:a)Growth Hormone (GH)-Stimulates bone and muscle growth, Targets bones, muscles b)Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)-Stimulates thyroid gland, Targets thyroid c)Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)- Stimulates adrenal cortex,Targets adrenal glands d)Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)-Egg/sperm production, Targets ovaries/testes e)Luteinizing Hormone (LH)- Ovulation/testosterone production, Targets ovaries/testes f)Prolactin (PRL)-Milk production, Targets mammary glands B)Posterior Pituitary- a)Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)-Water retention, Targets kidneys b)Oxytocin-Labor contractions & milk ejection, Targets uterus/mammary glands
