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
