Question Answer
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the Pineal Gland Secrets Melatonin (amino acid derived); targets the brain and other tissues, and acts on the circadian rhythms, immune function and antioxidants
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the hypothalamus (NEURONS) Trophic hormones (peptide), targets the anterior pituitary, acts on the release or inhibit the pituitary hormones
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the posterior pituitary (NEURONS) [secrets oxytocin (peptide), targets the breast and uterus, acts on the mil ejection, labor and delivery and behavior]; [secretes vasopressin, ADH (peptide), targets the kidney and actos on water reabsorption]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by anterior pituitary (GLAND) [Prolactin, PRL (Peptide) targets the breast an affects the milk production] [growth hormone or somatotropin, GH (peptide), targets the liver and affects the growth factor secretion and also targets many tissues for their growth and metabolism] [adrenocorticotropin, ACTH (peptide), targets the adrenal cortex and affects the cortisol release] [Thyrotropin stimulating hormone, TSH (peptide), targes the thyroid gland and its effect is on the thyroid hormone synthesis] [follicle stimulating hormone, FSH (peptide), targets the gonads and its effect are on the egg or sperm production and the sex hormone production] [Luteinizing hormone, LH (peptide), targets the gonads, and acts on the sex hormone production]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by parathyroid gland Secretes parathyroid hormone (peptide), targets the bone and kidney and its effects are to regulate the plasma calcium and phosphate levels
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the thymus gland secretes thymosin and thymopoletin (peptide), targets the lymphocytes and acts on the lymphocyte development
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by heart (ENDOCRINE CELLS) secretes the atrial natriuretic peptide (peptide), targets the kidneys and acts on the increase of Na+ excretion
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by liver (ENDOCRINE CELLS) [secretes angiotensinogen (peptide), targets the adrenal cortes and blood vessels, acts on the aldosterone secretion and in the increase of BP] [secretes IGF, insulin-like growth factor (peptide), targets many tissues and acts on their growth ]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the stomach and small intestine (ENDOCRINE CELLS) secrets gastrins, cholecystokinin (peptides), targets the Gi tract and pancreas and actos on as siting the digestion and absorption of nutrients
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the pancreas (GLAND) secretes insulin, glycogen, somatostatin, pancreatic polypetide (peptide), targets many tissues and acts on the metabolism of glucose and other nutrients
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the adrenal cortex (GLAND) [secretes aldosterone (steroid), targets the kidney and scots on the Na+ and K+ homeostasis] [secretes cortisol (steroid), targets many tissues and acts on stress response] [secretes androgens (steroid), targets many tissues, and actos on sex drive on females]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by adrenal medulla (NEURONS) secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine (amino-acid derived), targets many tissues and its effects are on the fight or flight response
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by kidney (ENDOCRINE CELLS) [erythropoletin (peptide), targets the bone marrow and its main affects are on the red blood cell production] [1, 25-Dyhydroxi-Vitamin D2, calciferol (steroid), targets the intestine and its main effect are in the increase of Ca++ absorption]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the skin (ENDOCRINE CELLS) Secretes Vitamin D2 (steroid), targets the intermediate for of hormone, acts as a precursor of 1, 25-dihydroxy-Vitamin D2
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by the testes (GLAND) [secretes androgens (steroid), targets many tissues, and its effect are on the sperm production and secondary sex characteristics] [secretes inhibit which targets the anterior pituitary and inhibits FSH secretion]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by ovaries (GLAND) [secretes strogen and progesterone (steroid) which targets many tissues and its main effect are on the egg production and secondary sex characteristics] [secretes inhibit (peptide) which targets the anterior pituitary and acts on the inhibition of FSH secretion] [secretes relaxin in pregnancy (peptide) and targets the uterine muscles and relaxes muscles]
Hormone(s) secreted, target and main effect by adipose tissue (ENDOCRINE CELLS) secretes leptin, ediponectin, resisting which targets the hypothalamus and other tissues and its effects are driven by the food intake, metabolism and reproduction
