Question
Answer
Pituitary gland hormone which stimulates thyroid gland   TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)  
🗑
growth and repair of tissue through the breakdown of proteins and fats   GH (growth hormone)_  
🗑
Pituitary hormone which stimulates milk production   PRL (prolactin)  
🗑
Pituitary hormone which stimulates growth and secretion of adrenal cortex   ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)  
🗑
Pituitary hormone that stimulates growth of ovarian follicles   FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)  
🗑
Pituitary hormone which stimulates ovulation, maintains corpus luteum   LH (luteinizing hormone)  
🗑
Pituitary hormone that causes water retention   ADH (antidiuretic hormone)  
🗑
Pituitary hormone which stimulates uterine contractions, milk let down   oxytocin  
🗑
These two hormones are found in the posterior pituitary gland   ADH and oxytocin  
🗑
Called the "master gland."   pituitary gland  
🗑
Hormone that regulates sleep, found in the pineal gland   melatonin  
🗑
This gland is found above heart, and is part of the immune system.   thymus gland  
🗑
two hormones of the thyroid gland that help regulate metabolism   T3 and T4  
🗑
Element contained in T3 and T4   iodine  
🗑
This hormone triggers calcium to go into bone (and out of blood, which lowers blood calcium.)   calcitonin-found in thyroid tissue  
🗑
This hormone raises blood calcium.   parathyroid hormone (PTH)-found in parathyroid glands  
🗑
Found in the adrenal cortex, it is the body's natural cortisone   cortisol-anti-inflammatory effect  
🗑
The hormones epinepherine and norepinephrine are found here (fight or flight hormones)   adrenal medulla  
🗑
Pancreatic hormone that helps move sugar from blood into the body cells   insulin-secreted by beta cells of pancreas  
🗑
Pancreatic hormone that helps release sugar stored in liver into the blood stream   glucagon  
🗑
These molecules are like hormones, and are released close to the tissue where produced.   prostaglandins-these can promote pain, fever, uterine contraction, and many more things.  
🗑
Produced in the adrenal cortex, this hormone causes sodium (and water) retention   aldosterone  
🗑
