medullae
- Pituitary Gland/hypophysis
location: base of our brain
A. Anterior
-made up of epithelial cells
-releasing hormone and inhibiting
hormone
Growth hormone
Most tissues(cells in liver)
Increases protein synthesis, breakdown
of lipids, and release of fatty acids from
cells; increases blood glucose levels.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
triggers thyroid gland to secrete thyroid
hormones
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH)
Adrenal cortex
stimulates secretion of hormones in
adrenal glands
Melanocyte-stimulating
hormone(MSH)
- Melanocytes in skin
- Increases melanin production in
melanocytes to make the skin darker in
color
Luteinizing hormone (LH) or
interstitial cell-stimulating
hormone (ICSH)
- preparation for pregnancy
- production of testosterone hormone in
testes
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
stimulates sperm production in male
testes
stimulates estrogen hormone secretion
and egg development in female ovaries
Prolactin
formation of mammary glands(female)
and production of milk
B. Posterior
-contains neuron cells originate in
hypothalamus
-made up of nerve cells
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
- Kidney
- Increases water absorption
- maintain proper balance in bloodstream
Oxytocin
- Uterus
Increases uterine contractions
- Mammary gland
Increases milk from mammary gland
- Thyroid gland
-growth agent
Thyroid hormones (thyroxine and
triiodothyronine)
- Most cells of the body
- increases Oxygen consumption
- Increase metabolic rates, essential for
normal process of growth and
maturation
Calcitonin
- Primarily bone
- Gonads
A. Testes
primarily secrete androgens(most
important being testosterone)
B. Ovaries
-secretes Estrogens and
Progesterone
- Most tissue
- Aid in uterine and mammary gland
development and function, external
genitalia structure, secondary sexual
characteristics, sexual behavior and
menstrual cycle
- Thymus gland
Thymosin
- Immune tissues
- Promotes immune system development
and function

Inhibits secretion of gonadotropinreleasing hormone, thereby inhibiting
reproduction

Hypersecretion of parathyroid
hormone
Hyposecretion of insulin
Due to lack of insulin from nonfunctioning
beta cells of pancreatic islets. Two primary
forms of diabetes
Type I or juvenile onset diabetesoccurs in people younger than 20 years
(insulin dependent diabetes)
Type II or late onset diabetes mellitus
usually occurs in people who are over the
age of 40 and overweight. In many cases
diet and exercise can reverse symptom
