Explanation / Answer
Anterior Pituitary Gland-
Hormones
Effects
Regulations
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
It targets adrenal gland to secrete its hormones.
By corticotropin-releasing hormone and vasopressin (from hypothalamus) and rostaglandins
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
It targets thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormone.
By gamma-Aminobutyric acid
Follicle-stimulating hormone, Luteinizing hormone
It targets genital glands to secrete reproductive and sexual hormones.
By gonadotropin-releasing hormone from hypothalamus and gamma-Aminobutyric acid
Somatotropin
It targets liver and adipoise tissues to help in growth.
GH-releasing hormone and somatostatin from hypothalamus
Prolactin
Finds mainly in women and targets ovaries and mammary gland
Dopamine by hypothalamus
Thyroid Gland
Hormones
Effects
Regulations
Triiodothyronine
Regulation of metabolic rate
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Thyroxine
Regulation of metabolic rate
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Parathyroid Gland-
The gland is produce parathyroid hormone that has effects on calcium and phosphate homeostasis. The calcium concentration regulates the secretion of parathyroid hormone.
Adrenal Cortex-
Hormones
Effects
Regulations
Glucocorticoids
Regulates fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism, blood pressure, cardiovascular function, immune response and suppress inflammatory reactions
By pituatry (Adrenocorticotropic hormone
) and hypothalamus (corticotrophin-releasing hormone)
Mineralcorticoid (aldosterone)
Osmolartiy
Kidney
Epinephrine (adrenaline)
Flight or fight response
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Norepinephrine
Stress response and vasoconstriction
beta 2-adrenergic receptors
Pancreas-
Hormones
Effects
Regulation (all regulate pancreatic juice)
Insulin
Control glucose concentration
Cholecystokinin, serotonin
Melatonin, C-natriuretic peptide, cannabinoids, ghrelin, orexin
glucagon
Converts glycogen into glucose
Same as insulin has and Glucagon-like peptide-1
somatostatin
Food absorption
Same as insulin has
Amylin
Control glucagon, empty stomach and satiety signal
Same as insulin has
pancreatic polypeptide
Reduce apepetite
Same as insulin has
