are chemical messengers secreted into the blood stream and stimulate the cells of another tissue or organ. They affect only cells that have receptors for them which is how they are controlled (no master control center)

has an anterior and posterior portion

is also known as adenohypophysis

is known as the neurohypophysis, not considered a true gland; it is a mass of neuroglia and nerve
fibers that actually arise from bodies in the hypothalamus.

cell bodies synthesis hormones that will be transported down the infundibulum and stored in the posterior pituitary. Two hormones stored there are antidiuretics hormone and oxytocin but are produced in hypothalamus

prevents dehydration by increasing water retention. It is also known as vasopressin. This causes vassal constriction to increase the blood pressure

is a hormone released during childbirth causing smooth muscles of uterus to contract causing contractions. (positive feedback). signal will cause signal causing more hormone to be produce which will increase contractions, stimulates muscles around the mammary
glands forcing milk to flow to nipple , release in surges during sexual arousal and orgasm.

is a releasing hormone that promotes TSH & PRL

is a releasing hormone that promotes ACTH

is a releasing hormone that promotes FSH & LH

is a releasing hormone that promotes prolactin

is a releasing hormone that promotes GH secretion

is an inhibiting hormone that inhibits prolactin PRL

is a inhibiting hormone that inhibits GH & TSH secretions

is a stimulating hormone for gonadotropins (sex organs). In the female it stimulates egg development
and in the male it produces sperm production

is a stimulating hormone for gonadotropins.
If females it stimulates ovulations and stimulates the egg to produces estrogen and progesterone. In the male it stimulates interstitial cells of the testes to secrete testosterone.

is a stimulating hormone. It stimulates growth of the thyroid and secretion in thyroid hormones (T3 and T4)

is a stimulating hormone. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete hormones particularly cortisol.

is a stimulating hormone, not tropic. In
the female these rise during pregnancy, has no effect until after pregnancy and stimulate milk production. In the male it makes the testes more sensitive to the luteinizing hormone producing more testosterone.

promotes tissue growth of bones, muscle and cartilage, 1000 times more produced than any other hormone in the body, stimulates the liver to produce growth factor or stimulates.

is going to have control hormones that are released to anterior pituitary 2 of which are inhibiting. None of the 7 released here will have a direct affect yet. It is basically a control mechanism that will cause the release of other hormones.

releases sleep hormone called melatonin (sleepy). It also secretes serotonin (happy).

patients suffer severe depression with not getting enough sunlight

can be helped with a couple hours of sun light or photo therapy

is an important component of serotonin. This might be a great alternative over Prozac, along with omega 3 from
fish and exercise 3-4 times per week

is present in turkey causing you to get sleepy

is an amino acid that moves into the follicle

is the training ground for your t-lymphocytes and pertains to your immune system. It secretes 2 hormones;
thymopoietin and thymosin. They stimulate t-lymphocytes development and activation

weighs 2/3 of ounce and secretes T3 and T4, primary function is to increase the metabolic rate. Function will increase during colder weather to keep you warmer. It accelerates the catabolism of fats, carbs and proteins for the use of fuel. Proper functions will help with alertness and increases the increase the secretion of growth hormones, and regulates blood cholesterol levels.

would have decreased energy, decreased alertness, colder extremities, weak nails and weight gain

is secreted by thyroid. It is secreted when blood calcium levels are too high. This will cause bone deposition (driving calcium back into the bone)

will drive the thyroid into hypothyroidism. Men can suffer from estrogen dominance as well. This can be caused by synthetic exposure to estrogens, eggs, red meat, milk, and soy. It can increase the chance of breast and/or thyroid cancer

produces one hormone called the parathyroid hormone. It activates vitamin D, promotes intestinal
calcium absorption, and inhibits urinary excretion of calcium. It overall purpose is to regulate the calcium
in the blood. Opposite effect of Calcitonin

has two halves; adrenal medulla and the adrenal cortex

consists of neurons. It is referred to as the sympathetic nervous system. (fight or flight). They are called epinephrine and norepinephrine.

is also known as adrenalin. It also inhibits insulin secretion sharpening thinking ability making muscles use alternative fuel. They use gluconeogenesis. This is produced by fat and proteins. It increases blood pressure and air flow. It will accelerate the breakdown of glycogen. Dopamine is also released
with adrenalin.

has 3 layers; Zona Glomerulosa, Zona Fasciculata, and the Zona Reticularis

is the outer layer of the adrenal cortex. It produces a hormone called aldosterone. This hormone acts on the kidneys to control electrolyte balance and promotes sodium retention
