| A | B |
|---|
| Oxytocin | Stimulates contraction of uterus and mammary glands to release milk during nursing; pituitary gland |
| Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) | Makes kidneys absorb or retain water; pituitary gland |
| Growth hormone (GH) | stimulates growth of bones and tissue and stimulates metabolism; pituitary gland |
| Prolactin (PRL) | stimulates milk production and secretion; pituitary gland |
| Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) | Stimulates ovaries and testes to produce egg and sperm; pituitary gland |
| Luteinizing hormone (LH) | stimulates the ovaries and testes; pituitary gland |
| Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) | stimulates thyroid gland; pituitary gland |
| Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) | stimulates adrenal gland to secrete glucocorticoids; pituitary gland |
| Triiodothyronine and thyroxine | stimulates and maintains metabolism; tyroid gland |
| Calcitonin | lowers blood calcium levels; thyroid gland |
| Parathyroid hormone (PTH) | raises calcium levels; parathyroid gland |
| Insulin | lowers blood sugar levels; pancreas |
| Glucagon | raises blood sugar levels; pancreas |
| Epinephrine and norepinephren | raises blood sugar levels; increases metabolism; constricts certain blood vessels; adrenal glands |
| Glucocorticoids | Raises blood sugar levels; adrenal glands |
| Melatonin | Helps with sleep/wake (biological rhythms) pattersn; pineal gland |
| Androgens (ex. testosterone) | sexual development; growth spurt at puberty, secondary sexual characteristics; testes |
| Estrogen | promotes development and maintainance of female reproductive system; ovaries |
| Progesterone | promotes uterine tissue growth; ovaries |
| Endorphins | act on nervous system to reduce sensitivity to pain; pituitary |
| Mineralcorticoids | regulate the concentraions of electrolytes (ions); adrenal gland |
| Human chorionic gonadotropin | cause the corpus luteum to stay in ovaries making uterine lining stay; embryo and placenta |
| Angiotensin | Angiostensin is secreted when the blood pressure in the kidneys is too low; liver |
| Aldosterone | High levels of angiotensin stimulate adrenal glands to secrete aldosterone; it increase absorption of sodium and water which increase blood pressure |
