| pituitary location | base of the brain |
| pituitary secretion | human growth hormone |
| pituitary hormone | FSH |
| pituitary secretion | Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) |
| growth hormone | helps long bones to grow |
| thyroid location | in the neck |
| thyroid secretions | thyroxin |
| thyroxine function | regulates rate of metabolism |

| target tissue | the area a hormone effects |
| effector cells | cells which react to a motor neuron impulse |
| spinal cord | important for reflexes |
| cerebellum | balance and coordination |
| cerebrum | thinking, voluntary movements, five senses. |
| medulla | controls involuntary movement |
| endocrine system | regulates overall homeostasis thru chemicals released into the blood stream |
