Gland Stimulation of Hormones Action

Gland Produced
Pineal Gland Time of day/closed melatonin Circadian
eyes Rhythm
FSH/LH-gonads
Anterior Pituitar't Hypothalamus - FSH ,LH, AcTH, Prolactin ,GH AcTH-
releasing/inhibiting cortisol(adrenal
hormones glands)
GH-cell growth
These produced by Oxytocin-
Posterior Pituitar't Nerve impulse from hypothalamus BUT stored in uterine
the hypothalamus pp contraction
