What endocrine gland releases Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH)?
Anterior Pituitary
What endocrine gland releases Glucagon?
Pancreas
hormone that decreases blood glucose levels; promotes glucose transport into cells
Insulin
hormone that stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
What endocrine gland releases Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)?
Anterior Pituitary
hormone which stimulates protein synthesis and the use of fats for fuels; targets most cells of the body, particularly muscle and bone

What endocrine gland releases thymosins?
Thymus
hormone that stimulates gamete production
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
hormone that triggers ovulation in women and stimulated testosterone production in men
Luteinizing Hormone
What endocrine gland releases Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)?
Posterior Pituitary
hormone that increases blood glucose levels; targets liver causing a release of glucose into the blood
