all hormones
luteinizing hormone
a surge of this marks the end of the follicular phase
estrogen
at its highest point at ovulation and a second high during the luteal phase
oxytocin
begins uterine contractions during child birth and controls milk production
estrogen
causes milk ducts to swell in breasts
luteinizing hormone
causes the developing follicle to bulge from the ovary
progesterone
causes the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to become thick; causes body temperature to rise; causes mucus to increase in the cervix
luteinizing
causes the secretion of sex hormones by the testes and ovaries
parathormone
controls levels of calcium in the blood
atrial natriuretic peptide
controls the release of a hormone from the posterior pituitary gland and is involved in the regulation of water levels in the body
insulin
decreases the level of sugar in the blood
human chorionic gonadotropin
endometrial maintenance after fertilization; maintains corpus luteum after fertilization
progesterone
endometrial maintenance before fertilization
progesterone
helps control female's monthly reproductive cycle
aldosterone
helps control the balance of water and salts in the body
melatonin
helps regulate onset of puberty and sexual maturity
adrenaline
helps the body respond to stressful situations
thymosin
helps to develop immune system
glucagon
increases the level of blood sugar and lowers the amount of stored sugar
corticosteroids
influence the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
follicle stimulating hormone
influences the maturing of eggs and the production of sperm
progesterone
inhibits FSH; more is secreted during luteal phase
human chronionic gonadotropin
maintains the corpus luteum
ovaries
produce estrogen and progesterone
testosterone
produce male secondary sex characteristics
testes
produce testosterone
follicle stimulating hormone
produced in pituitary, regulates the maturing of the egg cell from the secondary oocyte; triggers the production of estrogen in the ovary
adrenal medulla
produces adrenaline and noradrenaline
heart
produces atrial natriuretic peptide
adrenal cortex
produces corticosteroids and aldosterone
kidney
produces erythropoietin and renin which are part of the angiotesin system that regulates water balance in the body
islets of langerhans
produces glucagon and insulin
anterior pituitary
produces growth, luteinizing, FSH, thyroid stimulating, adrenocorticotropic, and prolacin hormones
pineal
produces melatonin
posterior pituitary
produces oxytocin and vasopressin
parathyroid
produces parathormone
thymus
produces thymosin
thyroid
produces thyroxin
thyroxin
regulates the body's growth and metabolism
estrogen
regulates the development of the female secondary sex characteristics
vasopressin
regulates water absorption by the kidneys
digestive organs
secrete gastrin and secretin
gastrin
secreted by the mucous lining of the stomach
corpus luteum
secretes progesterone
follicle stimulating hormone
stimulates maturation of the egg cell from secondary occyte
growth
stimulates the growth of bones in the body
secretin
stimulates the secretion of water and bicarbonate from the pancreas and bile ducts whenever the stomach empties too much acid into the small intestine
luteinizing
surge coincides with ovulation
