Endocrine glands
1. Pituitary
2. Thyroid
3. Pancreas
4. Adrenal
5. Testes (male) / Ovary (female)
 Gland Hormones

Pituitary 1. GH (Growth Hormone)

2. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
3. FSH (Follice Stimulating Hormone)
4. LH (Luteinishing Hormone)
5. ADH (Anti Diuretic Hormone)

Thyroid 1. Thyroxine

Pancreas 1. Insulin
2. Glucagon
Adrenal 1. Adrenaline

Testes 1. Testosterone

Ovary 1. Oestrogen
2. Progestrone
Pituitary
1. GH (Growth Hormone)
-stimulate growth of bones and muscles
2. TSH (Thyroxine Stimulating Hormone)
-stimulates growth of thyroid gland synthesis
and production of thyroid hormones
3. FSH (Follice Stimulating Hormone)
-control the development of follicles in ovary
and sperms cells in testes
4. LH (Luteinising Hormone)
5. ADH (Anti Diuretic Hormone)
Thyroid
1. Thyroxine
-it helps the body to develop by
controlling the rate of metabolic activity
-controls aspects of growth and
development
Pancreas
1. Insulin
-decreases blood glucose level by
increasing glucose uptake and usage by
the cells
2. Glucagon
-increases blood glucose level by
breaking down glycogen to glucose in
the liver
Adrenal
1. Adrenaline
-response to stress and emergency
situation (fright and flight response)
Testes
1. Testosteron
-help in development of secondary
sexual characteristics of males
Ovary
1. Oestrogen
-responsible for maintaining the
menstrual cycle (kitar haid)
-help in development of secondary
sexual characteristics of females
2. Progestrone
-control the thickness of the uterus wall
