Endrocine

1. Hormones

   • Adrenal Glands
     • Epinephrine, norepinephrine
       • Flight-or-fight response
   • Hypothamus
     • growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
       • Increases release of growth hormone from pituitary gland
     • Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
       • decreases the release of hormone from pituitary gland
     • corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH)
       • increases the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone from the pituitary gland
     • gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GRH)
       • increases the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone from pituitary gland
     • thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
       • increases the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone from pituitary gland
   • Pancreas
     • insulin and Glucagon
       • lowers blood sugar with insulin
       • raises blood sugar with glucagon
   • Pineal
     • Melatonin
       • Regulates sleep
   • Parathyroid Glands
     • parathyroid hormone
       • increases blood calcium
   • Pituatory
     • Posterior
       • antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
         • dilutes blood and increases fluid volume by increasing water reabsorption in the kidney
       • oxytocin
         • increases uterine contractions
     • Anterior
       • growth hormone (GH)
         • increases tissue growth
       • thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
         • increases secretion of thyroid hormones
       • adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH)
         • increases steroid secretion from adrenal glands
       • Prolactin
         • increases milk production
       • luteinizing hormone (LH)
         • stimulates ovaries and testes for ovulation and sperm production
       • follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
         • estrogen secretion and sperm production

2. Testes

   • testosterone
     • controls secondary characteristics such as growth of hair, deepening voice, increase musculature and production of sperm

3. Ovaries

   • Estrogen, Progesterone
     • controls sexual reproduction, secondary characteristics such as pubic and axillary hair, and breast development

4. Thyriod

   • thyroxine, triiodothyronine
     • Controls cellular Metabolism
   • Calcitonin
     • decreases blood calcium
