Prolactin Human growth Hormone Action Promotes milk production stimulates growth in almost all cells (bone lengthening, growth of soft tissue) increases protein synthesis, mobilization of fat stores, and decreases the use of glucose. Causes ovulation; stimulates estrogen and testosterone secretion.

Anterior Pituitary Prolactin Promotes milk production Protein Suckling increases prolactin production. Human Growth Stimulates growth in almost all cells Protein Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (bone lengthening, growth of soft Hormone from hypothalamus tissue). Increases protein synthesis, mobilization of fat stores, and decreases the use of glucose. Follicle Stimulating Growth of follicle in female; sperm Protein GnRH from hypothalamus Hormone production in men. Luteinizing Causes ovulation; stimulates estrogen Protein GnRH from hypothalamus; Hormone and testosterone secretion Estrogen causes the luteal surge that causes ovulation in females. Adenocorticotropic Stimulates the release of cortisol from Protein Corticotropic Releasing Hormone the adrenal cortex Hormone from hypothalamus. Thyroid Stimulating Stimulates the release of T3 and T4 from Protein Thyroid Releasing Hormone Hormone the Thyroid from the hypothalamus. Posterior Pituitary Oxytocin Promotes milk ejection and uterine Protein Neural contractions Antidiuretic Increases water reabsorption from the Protein Neural/High blood osmolarity Hormone kidney. This increases blood pressure, but decreases plasma osmolarity. Adrenal Cortex Cortisol Increases blood levels of Steroid ACTH from the Anterior carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Pituitary Aldosterone Raises blood pressure by increases Steroid Low blood volume via the reabsorption of sodium (via the angiotensin-renin system. Na+/K+ ATPase) and calcium in the kidney. Adrenal Medulla Catecholamines Fight or flight responses, including Tyrosine Sympathetic Stimulation (Epinephrine and vasoconstriction, dilation of pupils, the Derivative Norepinephrine) sympathetic responses. (Hydrophilic) Thyroid T3 and T4 Increases metabolism (increase Na/K Tyrosine TSH from the anterior pumps, creates heat, vasodilates, Derivative pituitary increases heart rates.) They are often (Hydrophobic) necessary for the growth and function of many tissues. Calcitonin Decreases blood calcium levels by Protein Elevated plasma calcium increasing osteoblast activity in the levels skeleton. Pancreas Insulin Stores away glucose, which decreases Protein Elevated plasma glucose plasma glucose. levels, and anticipation of such levels Glucagon Increases mobilization of glucose Protein Low plasma glucose levels stores Parathyroid Parathyroid Increases plasma calcium levels Protein Low plasma calcium levels Hormone Ovaries Estrogen Growth of mother sex organs; LH Steroid Luteinizing hormones surge stimulate theca cells to produce estrogens Progesterone Prepares and maintains uterus for Steroid The corpus luteum secretes pregnancy. progesterone. Testes Testosterone Secondary sex characteristics; Steroid Luteinizing hormone hardening of epiphyseal plates stimulates leydig cells to produce testosterone.
