Pituitary Gland (Anterior)
- Gland: Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland
- Hormone: Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Target: Thyroid Gland
- Hormonal Effect: Secretion of thyroid hormone
- Control of Secretion: Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH)
- Gland: Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland
- Hormone: Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
- Target: Adrenal Cortex (zona fasciculata)
- Hormonal Effect: Secretion of glucocorticoids (cortisol)
- Control of Secretion: Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)
Pituitary Gland (Posterior)
- Gland: Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland
- Hormone: Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
- Target: Kidneys
- Hormonal Effect: Reabsorption of water
- Control of Secretion: NO hypothalamic hormone
Thyroid Gland
- Gland: Follicular Epithelium of the Thyroid Gland
- Hormone: Thyroxine (T₄) Triiodothyronine (T₃)
- Target: Most cells
- Hormonal Effects: Increases oxygen consumption
- Control of Secretion: Stimulated by TSH from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
- Gland: C Cells of the Thyroid Gland
- Hormone: Calcitonin (CT)
- Target: Bone, kidneys
- Hormonal Effects: Decreases Ca2+ concentrations in body fluids
- Control of Secretion: Stimulated by low calcium levels
