 Pineal Gland
• It produces melatonin, a hormone that affects
sleep/wake cycle.
Hormone of Pituitary Gland

4. TSH
5. FSH
6. LH
7. Prolactin
 Function of Hormones
• Oxytocine (P. Pituitary)-stimulates the uterus contraction
during childbirth
• Prolactin (A. Pituitary)-stimulate breast milk production
• Thyroxine (Thyroid)-general metabolism
• Insulin (Pancreas)-decreases blood sugar level
• Aldosterone (Adrenal gland)- regulate level of salt and water
in the blood
Sugar Homeostasis
 Antagonistic Hormone
A pair of hormone that has opposite
function
parathormone - calcitonin
insulin - glucagon
 Hormonal Disorders
1. Diabetes mellitus-hyposecretion of insulin
2. Basedowi (grave’s disease)-Hypersecretion of
thyroid hormone
3. Low blood calcium-hypersecretion of calcitonin
4. Acromegaly-hypersecretion of growth hormone
5. Dwarfism-hyposecretion of growth hormone
