Hypothalamus
- Anterior Pituitary Gland
- Human Growth
Hormone/somatotropin - help
the body to grow
- Lutenizing
Hormone -
stimulate
production of
estrogen and
progesterone in
females,
testosterone in
males
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone
- initiate development of
oocytes and sperm; stimulate
ovary estrogen production
- Thyroid
Stimulating
Hormone/
Thyrotropin
- Thyroid gland - Make T3/T4 from
follicular cells to increase
metabolism
- C Cells outside the follicle
produce calcatonin to
reduce blood [Ca+2]
- Parathyroid gland - Produce
parathyroid hormone to
increase blood [Ca+2]
- Adrenocorticotropic
Hormone (ACTH) /
corticotrophin - stimulate
cortisol production by the
adrenal cortex
- Adrenal Gland control
- Matrix
- Produces epinephrine and
norepinephrine for short
term stress response in the
body (ANS)
- Cortex (outer layer)
- Zona glomerulosa -
Aldosterone production
to increase absorption
of [Na+] and water
- Zona Fasiculata -
Cortisol production to
increase blood [glucose]
to resist long term
stress
- Zona reticularis - androgen production
- Prolactin - Milk Secretion
- Melanocyte
stimulating
hormone - Function unknown
- Supraoptic Nuclei
- Anti-Diuretic
Hormone/Vasopressin
- Posterior Pituitary Gland
- Paraventricular Nuclei
- Oxytocin
- Other glands
- Pineal glands -
secrete melatonin
to help regulate
body sleep clock
- Thymus: produce thymosin, thymic humoral
factor, thymic factor, thymopoietin; proliferation
and maturation of T cells
- Pancreas in
pancreatic
islet/ islet of
langerhans
- Alpha Cell
- Beta Cell
- Delta Cell
- F cell
- pancreatic
polypeptide -
inhibit
somatostatin
- Somatostatin produced -
decrease glucagon and
insulin secretion = slow
nutrient absorption in GI
- Insulin produced
- decrease blood
glucose
concentration
- Glucagon produced -
gluconeogenesis =
breakdown of glucose to
increase blood
concentration
