Anterior Pituitary Human Growth Hormone – growth of epiphyseal plates Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Follicle Stimulating Hormone (testes and ovaries) Luteinizing Hormone (testosterone and estrogen) Prolactin ((milk secretion) Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (adrenal gland) Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (melanocytes)
Corticotrophic Hormone
Human Growth Hormone
Posterior Pituitary Oxytocin (uterine contractions) Antidiuretic Hormone (kidney function)
Antidiuretic Hormone
Thyroid Gland T 3 and T 4 Hormones (oxygen use, BMR, cellular metabolism, growth and development) Calcitonin (uptake of calcium and phosphorus into bone)
Parathyroid Gland Parathyroid Hormone (removes calcium from osteocytes and adds it to blood)
Adrenal Glands Mineralcorticoids (increases blood NA and K levels) Glucocorticoids (protein breakdown and adds glucogenesis) Androgens (Growth) Epinephrine (Sympathetic response)
Pancreas Insulin (glucose to liver as glycogen) Glucagon (glucose from liver to blood)
