| A | B |
|---|
| growth hormone | increase size of bone, muscles, other tissues |
| thyroid-stimulating hormone | controls secretions of the thyroid gland |
| adrenocorticotropic hormone | controls secretions of adrenal cortex |
| follicle-stimulating hormone | controls growth and development of follicles and development of sperm |
| luteinizing hormone | promotes secretion of sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone in females and testosterone in males) |
| prolactin | promotes milk production |
| antidiuretic hormone | decreases urine production |
| oxytocin | contracts muscles in uterus and muscles around mammary glands |
| thryroxine | increases rate of energy/metabolism, determines basal metabolic rate |
| calcitonin | controls blood calcium and phosphate, causes calcium to be deposited in bones |
| parathyroid hormone | increases calcium concentration and decreases phosphate concentration |
| epinephrine and norepinephrine | secreted by adrenal medulla - increase heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac contraction force |
| aldosterone | regulates mineral electrolytes - conserves sodium and excretes potassium |
| cortisol | helps keep blood glucose concentration within normal limits, increases fatty acid release, decreases protein synthesis |
| glucagon | stimulates liver to break down glycogen into glucose |
| insulin | stimulates liver to form glycogen from glucose, decreases concentration of blood glucose |
| somatostatin | regulates glucose metabolism by inhibiting secretion of glucagon and insulin |
| melatonin | regulates circadian rhythms |
| thymosins | plays a role in immunity, affects production of certain white blood cells |
