,- ACTH
- Gonadotropins
Adrenal Hormones - ANS Cortisone, aldosterone
Thyroid Hormones - ANS T3, T4, Calcitonin
Parathyroid Hormones - ANS Parathyroid Hormone
Hypothalamus Hormones - ANS Growth; stimulates pituitary gland
Ovary Hormones - ANS Estrogen, progesterone
Testes Hormones - ANS Testosterone
Pituitary: What does it do - ANS -Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: tells thyroid to secret T3 and
T4
-Growth
-ACTH: Stimulates adrenal glands to secrete aldosterone AND cortisol
-Vasopressin (ADH): Limits diuresis and prevents excretion of water
-Gonadotropins- LH, FSH
ACTH - ANS stimulates adrenal glands to excrete aldosterone & cortisol
TSH - ANS tells thyroid to secrete T3 & T4
ADH/Vasopressin - ANS limits diuresis & prevents exertion of water

, Adrenal: What does it do - ANS Aldosterone
-Maintains extracellular (intravascular) volume
-Sodium/Potassium relationship
Cortisol
-CHO, fat, protein metabolism
-Stress, emotional stability
-Immune Function
Aldosterone - ANS - maintains intravascular volume
- sodium/potassium relationship
- regulated by RAAS system, serum potassium & ACTH
Cortisol - ANS - carb, fat & protein metabolism
- stress, emotional stability
- immune function
- also helps with water and sodium balance
Thyroid: What does it do - ANS T3 and T4 increase metabolism
Calcitonin- lowers Ca/Phos in serum
=Metabolism
More of T4 but T3 is potent
T3 & T4 - ANS increase metabolism
