| GLAND | HORMONE | CHEMICAL CLASS | ACTIONS | REGULATED BY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hypothalamus | hormones released from the posterior pituitary and the hormone that regulate the anterior pituitary | - | - | - |
| Pituitary gland | Oxytocin Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) Growth hormone (GH) Prolactin (PRL) Follicle-Stimulating Hormone(FSH) Luteinizing hormone(LH) | peptide Peptide Protein Protein Glycoprotein Glycoprotein | stimulates uterus contraction of and mammary gland cells Promotes retention of water by kidneys stimulates growth(especially bones) and metabolic function stimulates milk production and secretion stimulates ovaries and testes stimulates thyroid gland | nervous system water salt balance Hypothalamic hormones hypothalamic hormones hypothalamic hormones thyroxine in blood;hypothalamic hormones |
| Thyroid gland | Triiodothyronine(T3) Thyroxine(T4) Calcitonin | Amine Peptide | stimulates and maintain metabolic process lowers blood calcium level | TSH calcium in blood |
| Parathyroid glands | Parathyroid hormone(PTH) | Peptide | raises blood calcium level | calcium in blood |
| Pancreas | Insulin Glucagon | protein protein | lowers blood glucose level raises blood glucose level | glucose in blood glucose in blood |
| Adrenal glands Adrenal medulla Adrenal cortex | Epinephrine and norepinephrine glucocorticoids mineralocorticoids | Amine steroid STEROID | raise blood glucose level;increases metabolic activities;constrict certain blood vessels raise blood glucose level promotes reabsorption of NA+(sodium ions) and excretion of K+(potassium) in kidneys | Nervous system ACTH K+ in blood |
| Gonads Testes OVARIES | androgens Estrogens Progesterone | steroid steroid steroid | support sperm formation;promote development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics stimulate uterine lining growth:promote development and maintenance of female secondary sex characteristics promotes uterine lining growth | FSH and LH FSH and LH FSH and LH |
| Pineal gland | Melatonin | Amine | involved in biological rhythms | light/dark cycles |
