Question

What effects are caused due to the release of hormones inside our body

Answer 1

Hypothalamus Gland

1. Growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF)—stimulates release of growth hormone
2. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH)—stimulates release of FSH and LH
3. Thyrotropin releasing factor (TRF)—TSH secretion
4. Prolactin releasing hormone (PRH)—prolactin secretion
5. Growth hormone inhibiting factor (GHIF)—inhibits release of GHRF
6. Prolactin inhibiting factor (PIF)—inhibits release of PRH

Pituitary Gland

1. Growth hormone (GH)—acts as growth promoter
2. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)—thyroid hormone synthesis
3. Prolactin - milk synthesis
4. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) male—spermatogenesis____female—ovarian follicle growth estrogen synthesis
5. Luteinizing hormone (LH) male—testicular testosterone synthesis____female-ovulation progesterone synthesis

Pineal Gland

1. melatonin—possibly gonadal development

Thyroid Gland

1. thyroxin—growth, increased metabolism and oxygen consumption

Parathyroids Glands

1. parathyroid hormone (PTH)—increase blood calcium, lower blood phosphate levels

Adrenal Cortex

1. Hydrocortisone—increase carbohydrate levels in the blood, stress response, anti-inflammatory2. Aldosterone—modulates sodium electrolyte levels, blood pressure

Adrenal Medulla

1. Epinephrine fight or flight response, multiple effects on nerves, muscles

Pancreas

1. Insulin—lower blood glucose levels, increase protein synthesis2. Glucagon—raises blood glucose levels, opposes insulin action

Ovaries

1. Estradiol—female sexual development and behavior

2. Progesterone—corpus luteum, increase mammary gland growth, maternal behavior

Testes

1. Testosterone—male sexual development and behavior, pituitary FSH secretion
