Locate on a diagram and describe the function of the following: anterior pituitary, posterior pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and the pancreas. 4. Know the general functions of the following hormones: growth hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, aldosterone, cortisone, cortisol, androgens, estrogens, epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin, and glucagon. 5.
