16
Q

Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)

Increases melanin production in melanocyte to make the skin darker in color

A

Melanocyte in the skin

17
Q

Luteinizing hormone (LH) or interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH)

Promotes ovulation and progesterone production in ovary. Promotes testosterone synthesis and support for sperm cells production in testis

A

Target tissues: ovary in females testis in males

18
Q

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

Promotes follicle maturation and estrogen secretion in ovary. Promotes sperm cell production in testis.

A

Target tissues: follicles in ovary in females seminiferous tubules in males

19
Q

Prolactin

Stimulates milk production and prolongs progesterone secretions following ovulation and during pregnancy in women. Increases LH in males.

A

Ovary and mammary gland in females , testis in males.

20
Q

Antidiuretic (ADH)

Conserves water and constricts blood vessels

A

Target tissues : kidney

21
Q

Oxytocin

Increases uterine contraction , increases milk let down

A

Target tissues: uterus, mammary gland

22
Q

Thyroid hormones (thyroxine, triiodothyronine)

Increases metabolic rate , essential for normal process of growth and maturation

A

Most cells of the body

23
Q

Calcitonin

Decrease rate of bone breakdown, prevents large increase in blood calcium level following a meal

A

Primarily bone

24
Q

Parathyroid hormone

Increase rate of bone breakdown by osteoclasts , increases vitamin d synthesis , essential for maintenance of normal blood calcium levels

A

Target tissue: bone and kidney

25
Q

Epinephrine / some norepinephrine

Increases cardiac output , increases blood flow to skeletal muscles and heart increases release of glucose and fatty acids into blood ; in general prepares body for physical activity/ fight or flight.

A

Target tissues: heart , blood vessels, liver, adipocytes

26
Q

Mineralocorticoids ( aldosterone)

Increase rate of sodium transport into body; increase rate of potassium excretion ; secondarily favor water retention

A

Kidneys / intestine/ sweat glands

27
Q

Glucocorticoids (Cortisol)

Increase lipid and protein breakdown , increase glucose synthesis from amino acids ; increase blood nutrient levels; inhibit inflammation and immune response

A

Most tissues like the liver , fat, skeletal muscle, immune tissues

28
Q

Adrenal androgen

Insignificant in males, increase female sexual drive, growth of public hair and a axillary hair

A

Most tissue

29
Q

Insulin

Increase uptake and use of glucose and amino acids

A

Liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue

30
Q

Glucagon

Increases breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose into the blood stream

A

Primarily liver

31
Q

Testosterone

Aids in sperm cell production , maintenance of functional reproductive organs, secondary sex characteristics , sexual behavior

A

Most tissues

32
Q

Estrogen and progesterone

Aid in uterine and mammary gland development and function , external genitalia structure , secondary sex characteristics , sexual behavior , menstrual cycle

A

Most tissues

33
Q

Prostaglandins

Mediate inflammatory responses , increase uterine contraction and ovulation

A

Most tissues

34
Q

Thymosin

Promotes immune system development and function

A

Immune tissues

35
Q

Melatonin

Inhibits secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone thereby inhibiting reproduction

A

Hypothalamus
