Chemical messengers

These hormones have a chemical structure based on the steroid nucleus

Two metabolic thyroid hormones

Two principal hormones of adrenal medulla

Large polypeptides

Posterior pituitary gland

Posterior pituitary gland

Causes growth of almost all cells and tissues of the body

Causes the adrenal cortex to secrete adrenocortical hormones

Causes the thyroid gland to secrete thyroxine and triiodothyronine

Causes the growth of follicles in the ovaries before ovulation, promotes the formation of sperm cell

Plays an important role in causing ovulation, also causes secretion of female sex hormones by the ovaries and testosterone by the testes

Promotes development of the breast and secretion of milk

Causes the kidneys to retain water, thus increasing the water content of the body

Contracts the uterus during the birthing process, thus helping expel the baby

Contracts myoepithelial cells in the breast

Has multiple metabolic functions for control of metabolism of CHON, CHO, & fats

Reduces Na excretion by the kidneys and increase K excretion

Increase the rates of chemical reactions in almost all cells of the body thus increasing the gen lvl of body metabolism

Promote the deposition of Calcium in the bones and there by decrease CA concentration in the Extracellular fluid

Promote glucose entry into most of the body

Increase the synthesis and release of glucose from the liver into circulating body fluids

Stimulates the development of the female sex organs

Stimulates secretion of "uterine milk", and helps promote development of the secretory apparatus of the breast

Stimulates the growth of male sex organs and male secondary sex characteristics

Controls calcium ion in the Extracellular fluid

Promotes the growth of the corpus luteum and secretion of estrogens and progesterone

Promotes the growth of the mother's sex organs and some tissue of the fetus

Promotes special development of the uterine endometrium in advance of implantation of the fertilized ovum

Promotes growth of fetal tissues as well as aiding in the development of the mother's breast

Stimulating polypeptide hormone obtained from the urine of pregnant women

Purified preparation of Gonadotropin obtained from the urine of postmenopausal women

Tx of cardiac decompensation and hypotension

Infant

Adult

Tx for hypoglycemic

Tx for hyperglycemic

Evaluate thyroid function

Evaluate thyroid disease, pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction

Diagnose gastric acid secretion in pernicious anemia

Diagnose gastrinoma and pancreatitis

Used to distinguish hypoparathyroidism and pseudo hypoparathyroidism

A cells (Alpha)

B cells (Beta)

D cells (Delta)

F cells (PP)

Produce in the gonad and mediate the growth and development, maintenance and function of the reproductive tract and the accessory sex organ

Affects the intermediary metabolism

Affects the secretion of fluid and electrolyte with subsequent Na retention

Corpus luteum

H2O-soluble glycoproteins

Polypeptide of pituitary gland

CHON combined with CHO

Iodine containing compound

Alpha-3,4-Dihydroxy-phenyl-Beta-methyl aminoethanol

Molecules containing two unbranched polypeptide chains

Pituitary gland of man, horse, sheep, and pig

Suprarenal gland

From pregnant mares or human urine, hog ovaries

Cloned from a cDNA (complementary DNA) library and inserted into E. coli

Increase Ca lvl

Decrease CA lvl
