Anatomy Hormones

1.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Source - anterior pituitary gland

Function - Egg development

2.

Growth hormone (GH)

Source - anterior pituitary gland

Function - Growth

3.

Luteinizing hormone (LH)

source - anterior pituitary gland

function - ovulation

4.

Prolactin (PRL)

source - anterior pituitary gland

function - produces milk

5.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

source - anterior pituitary gland

function - stimulates thyroid to release hormones

6.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

source - Posterior pituitary gland

function - decreases urine formation

7.

oxytocin (OT)

source - posterior pituitary gland

function - contractions during child birth

8.

Thyroxine (T4)

source - thyroid gland

function - increases energy release from carbs, increases rate protein synthesis

9.

Triiodothyronine (T3)

source - thyroid gland

function - increases energy release from carbs, increases rate protein synthesis

10.

Calcitonin

source - thyroid gland

function - lowers blood calcium level

11.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

source - parathyroid gland

function - increases blood calcium concentration

12.

Epinephrine (EPI)

source - adrenal medulla

function - increases: heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, reticular formation, and glucose concentration

13.

Norepinephrine (NE)

source - adrenal medulla

function - increases: heart rate, STRONGER blood pressure, respiratory rate, reticular formation, and glucose concentration

14.

Aldosterone

source - adrenal cortex

function - regulates electrolyte concentrations

15.

cortisol

source - adrenal cortex

function - decreases protein synthesis, increases release of fats

16.

adrenal androgens

source - adrenal cortex

function - supplemental sex hormones

17.

Glucagon

source - pancreas

function - breaks down glycagen into glucose (increases blood glucose levels)

18.

Insulin

source - pancreas

functions - Form glycagen from glucose and stores in liver (decreases blood glucose levels)

19.

Somatostatin (SS)

source - pancreas

function - regulates carbohydrate levels

20.

Melatonin

source - pineal gland

function - regulates circadian rhythms

21.

Thymosin

source - thymus gland

function - promotes T lymphocyte development

22.

Estrogen

source - thymus gland

function - reproductive functions

23.

Progesterone

source - ovaries

function - menstrual function

24.

Testosterone

source - ovaries

function - reproductive functions

25.

ACTH

source - anterior pituitary

function - Stimulates adrenale cortex to release hormones
