vasopressin Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland antidiuretic hormone. triiodothyronine Secreted by the thyroid gland it increases metabolism in cells. thyroxine Secreted by the thyroid gland also called tetraiodothyronine. Note: TSH is not secreted by the thyroid gland. TSH acts on the thyroid gland to promote its functioning. testosterone Male hormone secreted by the testes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) thyrotropin Secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. somatotropin (STH) Secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland growth hormone. prolactin (PRL) Secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland promotes milk secretion. progesterone Secreted by the ovaries prepares the uterus for pregnancy. parathormone (PTH) Secreted by the parathyroiod glands increases blood calcium. oxytocin (OT) Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland stimulates contraction of the uterus during labor and childbirth.
norepinephrine Secreted by the adrenal medulla increases heart rate and blood pressure. luteinizing hormone (LH) Secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland stimulates ovulation in females and testosterone secretion in males. Insulin helps glucose to pass into cells, and it promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen. insulin Secreted by beta islet cells of the pancreas. growth hormone (GH) somatotropin Secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland stimulates growth of bones and soft tissues. glucagon Secreted by alpha islet cells of the pancreas increases blood sugar by conversion of glycogen (starch) to glucose. FSH stimulates hormone secretion and egg production by the ovaries and sperm production by the testes. follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. estrogen Female hormone secreted by the ovaries and to a lesser extent by the adrenal cortex. estradiol Estrogen secreted by the ovaries.
It is part of the body's "fight or flight" reaction. epinephrine (adrenaline) Secreted by the adrenal medulla increases heart rate and blood pressure and dilates airways (sympathomimetic). It is secreted in times of stress and has an anti-inflammatory effect. cortisol Secreted by the adrenal cortex increases blood sugar. calcitonin Secreted by the thyroid gland decreases blood calcium levels. ADH (vasopressin) increases reabsorption of water by the kidney. antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Aldosterone Secreted by the adrenal cortex increases salt (sodium) reabsorption androgen Male hormone secreted by the testes and to a lesser extent by the adrenal cortex testosterone is an example.
