Q

lutenizing hormone

A

Anterior pituitary gland-(targets: testes and ovaries) Function: stimulates secretion of testosterone, triggers ovulation and stimulates secretion of estrogen and progesterone

17
Q

prolactin

A

Anterior pituitary gland- (targets: mammary gland) Function: stimulates production and secretion of milk

18
Q

adrenocorticotropic hormone

A

Anterior pituitary gland- (targets: adrenal cortex) Function: stimulates secretion of hormones by adrenal cortex

19
Q

melanocyte-stimulating hormone

A

Anterior pituitary gland- (targets: skin) Function: darkens skin pigmentation

20
Q

anti-diuretic hormone

A

Posterior pituitary gland- (targets: kidneys) Function: decreases water lost in urine by returning water to the blood

21
Q

oxytocin

A

Posterior pituitary gland- (targets: uterus and mammary glands) Function: stimulates uterine contractions and milk ejection during suckling

22
Q

thyroxine

A

Thyroid gland- (targets: most body cells) Function: increases metabolism and basal metabolic rate (BMR)

23
Q

triiodothyronine

A

Thyroid gland- (targets: most body cells) Function: increases metabolism and basal metabolic rate (BMR)

24
Q

calcitonin

A

Thyroid gland- (targets: osteoclast cells in bones) Function: decreases blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclasts

25
Q

parathyroid hormone

A

Parathyroid glands- (targets: osteoclasts cells in bones) Function: increases blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone matrix

26
Q

aldosterone

A

Adrenal cortex- (targets: kidneys) Function: decreases sodium and water loss in urine by returning sodium and water to the blood

27
Q

cortisol

A

Adrenal cortex- (targets: liver, muscle, and cells involved in body defenses) Function: increases resistance to stress, increases blood glucose levels, and decreases inflammation

28
Q

androgens

A

Adrenal cortex- (targets: uterus, mammary glands, and other body cells involved in secondary sex characteristics) Function: insignificant in males; increases sex drive in females

29
Q

epinephrine

A

Adrenal medulla- (targets: body cells involved in fight-or-flight response) Function: promotes fight-or-flight response

30
Q

norepinephrine

A

Adrenal medulla-(targets: body cells involved in fight-or-flight response) Function: promotes fight-or-flight response

31
Q

insulin

A

Pancreas- (targets: most body cells) Function: decreases blood glucose levels by transporting glucose into body cells

32
Q

glucagon

A

Pancreas- (target: liver) increases blood glucose levels by stimulating liver to break down glycogen into glucose

33
Q

estrogen

A

Ovaries- (target: uterus, mammary glands, and other body cells involved in female sexual characteristics) Function: stimulates development of female sex characteristics; helps regulate menstrual cycle

34
Q

progesterone

A

Ovaries- (target: uterus, mammary glands, and other body cells involved in female sexual characteristics) Function: stimulates development of female sex characteristics; helps regulate menstrual cycle

35
Q

testosterone

A

Testes- (target: testes, muscle, and other body cells involved in male sexual characteristics) Function: stimulates development of male sex characteristics; stimulates male sex drive; regulates sperm production

36
Q

melatonin

A

Pineal gland- (targets: brain) Function: helps to set biological clock

37
Q

thymosin

A

Thymus- (targets: T cells (type of white blood cell involved in immune response ) Function: promotes the maturation of T cells for the immune response
