_____ gland produces melatonin
pineal gland
7 hormones produced by the adenohypophysis
(anterior pituitary)
- ACTH
- FSH
- GH
- LH
- MSH
- Prolactin
- TSH
2 hormones that are produced by the neurophypophysis
(posterior pituitary)
- ADH/ vasopressin
- Oxytocin
Name the function of the two hormones produced by the posterior pituitary
- ADH/ vasopressin: Controls H2O balance
2. Oxytocin: uterus contraction, milk let down
cc: defiency/ excess of ADH?
defiency: diabetes insipidus
excess: conn’s sx
