Melatonin
Thymosin
Thymus Gland
Ovaries
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testes
Testosterone
Targets skeletal muscles and
bones
Stimulates growth
Growth Hormone
Targets female breasts
Stimulates milk production in
new mothers
Prolactin
Adenocorticotropic Hormone
Stimulates the adrenal cortex to
make their hormones
(glucocorticoids and aldosterone)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Stimulates thyroid production
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
Stimulates sperm production in
testes of males
Stimulates follicle growth in
ovaries of females
Lutenizing Hormone
Triggers ovulation in females
Stimulates testosterone
production in males
Stimulates contractions
during childbirth and
breast feeding (causes milk
ejection)
Oxytocin
Antidiuretic Hormone
Calcitonin
Decreases urine volume
Decreases blood concentrations of
calcium
Causes calcium deposition in
bones
Controls metabolism
Regulates rate at which glucose is
burned off as heat
Targets all body cells
Thyroxin
Parathyroid hormone
Increases blood concentration of
calcium by breaking down bone
matrix
Responds to high blood sugar
levels
Decreases blood sugar by
increasing glucose uptake by cells
Insulin
Glucagon
Stimulated by low blood sugar
Stimulates liver to break down
glycogen and release it into the
blood
catecholamines
glucocorticoids
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
Stimulates fight or flight response
Helps promote cell metabolism
and allows the body to resist longterm with fat and protein
breakdown; also involved in pain
reduction
aldosterone
Helps balance water and
electrolytes in the body
Melatonin
Sleep wake cycle
High production at night, low at
noon
Thymosin
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
Aids in the maturation of white
blood cells
Boosts immune system in the
young
Secondary sex characteristics in
women
Prepares uterus for pregnancy
Maintains pregnancy & milk
production
Quiets uterine muscles during
pregnancy (no early contractions)
Prepares breasts to lactate
Causes development of secondary
sex characteristics in males;
promotes maturity of male
reproductive system; stimulates
male sex drive
