• Source: hypothalamus/posterior pituitary
• Target: kidneys
• Action: Causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water. will produce less urine

• Source: hypothalamus/posterior pituitary
• Target:
• -uterus
• -mammary glands
• Action:
• -cause contraction during labor
• -causes release of milk

• Source: anterior pituitary
• Target: bones and muscles
• Action:increase in size. Epiphiseal plates grown in height

Source: anterior pituitary

Target: thyroid

Action: release hormones (calcitonin, T3, T4)

Source: anterior pituitary

Target: adrenal cortex

Action: release of hormones (cortisol, Aldosterone, Adrenal Androgens)

Source: anterior pituitary

Target:ovaries

Action:ovulation (release of eggs)

Source: anterior pituitary

Target: testis

Action:  causes testis to make testosterone

Source: anterior pituitary

• Target:
• -ovaries
• -testis

• Action:
• -production of eggs
• -production of sperm

Source: anterior pituitary

Target: mammary gland

Action: to produce milk

Source: thyroid gland

Target: kidneys and bones

Action: lowers calcium blood levels. It's a hypocalcemic agent.

• -Stimulates calcium excretion
• -Inhibits osteoclast in the bones

Source: thyroid gland

Target: all cells

Action: increases metabolic rate

Source: Parathyroid gland

• Target:
• -kidneys
• -intestines

• Action:
• -conserves Ca levels
• -conserves Ca. Puts it back to the blood.

Source: Adrenal medulla

Target: SNS

Action: Flight or fight response

Source:  adrenal cortex

Target: kidneys

Action: reabsorb more Na back into blood/Regulate Na levels in blood

Source: adrenal cortex

• Target:
• lots of cells in body

• Action:
• -inhibits protein synthesis
• -promotes fatty acid release
• -increases glucose levels in blood. hyperglicemic

Source: adrenal cortex

• Target:
• -ovaries
• -testis

• Action:
• -produce some testosterones
• -produce some estrogen

Source: pancreas (beta cells)

Target: all cells

Action: lowers glucose levels in blood

Source: pancreas (alpha cells)

Target: muscle, liver

Action: break down glycogen and release it to the blood.

Source: thymus gland

Target: lymphocytes in thymus

Action:  mature into T-cells for immunity

Source: Pineal gland

Target: SCN Suprachasmatic nuclei

Action: heps regulate circardian rhythms. and biological clock

Source:  testes

Target: male rep system

Action: secondary sex characteristics and puberty

Source: ovaries

Target: female rep. track

Action: secondary sex characteristics and puberty. menstrual cycle

Source: ovaries

Target: uterus

Action: maintains the pregnancy

Source: Gastric cells (in response to food)

Target: gastric galnds

Action: increases secretory activity of gastric glands

Source: Intestinal wall cells (in response to proteins and fats in small intestine)

Target:

• -gastric glands
• -pancreas
• -gallbladder

• Action:
• -decreases secretory activity of gastric glands and inhibits gastric motility
• -stimulates pancreas to secrete fluid with a high digestive enzyme concentration
• -stimulates gallbladder to contract and release bile

Source: Cells in duodenal walls (in response to acidic chyme entering small intestine)

Target: Pancreas

Action: Stimulates pancreas to secrete fluid with a high bicarbonate ion concentration
