Insulin - Hormone that decrease blood glucose levels, secreted by beta cells in pancreas
Aldosertone - Hormone that increase sodium & water, decrease potassium, produced in
adrenal cortex
Cor sol - Hormone that breakdown skeletal muscle & fat, convert amino acids into glucose,
an -inflammatory, produced in adrenal cortex

development, produced in adrenal cortex
Epinepherine/ Norepinepherine (NE) - Hormone that increases heart rate & respiratory rate,

development in females, produced in female gonads (ovaries)
Melatonin - Hormone that regulate sleep/wake cycles, produced in pineal gland
Pituitary Dwarfism - Hyposecre on of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland
BEFORE puberty, results in undergrowth of body structures
Gigan sm - Hypersecre on of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland during
childhood, results in excess growth of all body structures
Acromegaly - Hypersecre on of growth hormone (GH) a8er puberty, over growth of so8 ssue
Diabetes insipidus - Hyposecre on of an -diure c hormone (ADH) from posterior pituitary
gland, results in excessive thirst, frequent urina on and large volumes of urine
Hypothyroidism - Hyposecre on of thyroid hormone

AT birth, abnormal development & mental retarda on if untreated, treated with T4
Myxedema (secondary) hypothyroidism - Hyposecre on of thyroid - s mula ng hormone (TSH)

heart rate, sensi vity to hot & cold, muscle weakness
Hashimoto's disease - Hyposecre on of T3/T4, an bodies a3ack proteins in thyroid, leads to
destruc on of gland
, Hyperthyroidism - Hypersecre on of T4
Graves disease - Hyperthyroidism disorder, an bodies bind to thyroid - s mula ng hormone
(TSH) receptor & overs mulate thyroid by mimicking TSH func ons
