Leptin: adipose gland
affects hypothalamus and inhibits hunger
Cortisol: adrenal cortex
Affects all tissues to stop inflammation, controls lipolysis, “stress hormone”
aldosterone: adrenal cortex
affects kidneys, signals kidneys to retain Na+ and water, signals kidneys to excrete excess K+
Androgen: adrenal cortex
affects muscle, bones, and hair. growth maintenance of bones, skin, hair
epinephrine: adrenal medulla
affects the heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system. speeds up heart vasoconstricts blood vessels, and vasodilates respiratory tract.
Adrenocorticotropic: Anterior pituitary
affects the adrenal cortex and produces cortisol, corticosterone, and aldosterone.
Human growth: Anterior pituitary
affects the liver, stimulates the release of insulin-like-growth factor 1
Prolactin: Anterior pituitary
affects mammary gland and stimulates milk production
Follicle-stimulating: anterior pituitary
affects testes and ovaries, female follicle development, male sperm production
Thyroid-stimulating: anterior pituitary
Targets thyroid and thymus stimulating thymosin
Melanocyte-stimulating: anterior pituitary
unkown function
Luteinizing hormone: Anterior pituitary
affects testes and ovaries, female ovulation and progesterone production, male testosterone
Corticotropin-releasing: hypothalamus
affects the anterior pituitary: stimulates release of adrenocorticotropin
Throtropin-releasing: hypothalamus
affects anterior pituitary and stimulates release of thyroid-stimulating hormone
Growth hormone-releasing hormone: hypothalamus
affects anterior pituitary and stimulates the release of human growth hormone
Prolactin-releasing: hypothalamus
affects the anterior pituitary and stimulates the release of prolactin
Gonadotropin-releasing: hypothalamus
Affects anterior pituitary: Stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone
Renin: kidney
Affects aldosterone in blood: Activates angiotensinogen into angiotensin
erythropoitein: kidney
Bone marrow: stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells
Calcitriol: kidney
affects the small intestinese and stimulates vitamin D production
insulin-like-growth factor: liver
affects all tissues and stimulates the growth of all body tissues
Thrombopoeitin: liver
Affects bone marrow to produce platelets
Insulin: pancreas
affects all tissues and delivers glucose to all cells and extra glucose to the liver to become glycogen
Glucagon: pancreas
Affects liver and breaks down glycogen into glucose, raising blood sugar levels
Pancreatic polypeptide: Pancreas
affects the pancreas and stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes for digestion
Somatostatin: pancreas
affects the stomach and inhibits the production of stomach enzymes
Parathyroid hormone: parathyroid gland
affects osteoclasts, kidneys, and small intestines. Stimulates osteoclasts to break down, signals kidney to retain Ca, signals small intestine to absorb vitamin D
Melatonin: pineal gland
Affects the thalamus and stimulates the sleep cycle
antidiuretic hormone :posterior pituitary
affect the kidney and signals the kidney to retain water when the body is dehydrated
Oxytocin: posterior pituitary
affects uterus and mammary gland: uterine contraction and the ejection of fluid by mammary glands
cholecystokinin: small intestine
affects the liver and regulates bile production
secretin: small intestine
Targets pancreas and regulates Ph Acid
Gastic-inhibitory peptide: small intestine
targets the stomach and pancreas, inhibits acid stimulates insulin
ghrelin: stomach
affects hypothalamus, stimulates hunger
Gastrin: stomach
affects stomach and small intestine, regulates acid production in stomach and mobility in intestines
triiodothyrorine: thyroid gland
affects all tissues and stimulates metabolism
thyroxinine: thyroid gland
affects all tissues and stimulates metabolism
Thymosin: thyroid gland
affects all tissues Makes T and B lymphocytes
Calcitonin: thyroid gland
Affects osteoblasts and stimulates osteoblasts that lower blood calcium
Testosterone: testicles
affects all tissues: male sex characteristics, growth of bone, muscle and hair
Inhibin: testicles and ovaries
Hypothalamus: Inhibits follicle-stimulating hormones
Estrogens: ovaries
all tissues: female sex characteristics, regulated bones, stops growth
progesterones:ovaries
affects the uterus and builds endometrium, maintains pregnancy
relaxin: ovaries
affects uterus, vagina, pubic symphysis: relaxes female reproductive system
