Here are some important glands, the hormones they secrete, and some specific functions of such hormones:
1. Hypothalamus (posterior lobe) secretes:
a) Antidiuretic or vasopressin: Promotes the absorption of water by the kidneys.
b) Oxytocin: Stimulates uterus contraction during labor and afterbirth, stimulates nipples for milk production. In men it stimulates ejaculation.
2. Hypothalamus (anterior lobe) secretes:
a) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): In women stimulates the maturation of the follicle. In men stimulates spermatogenesis.
b) a) Luteinizing (LH): Stimulates ovulation and the formation of corpus luteum. In men stimulates the formation of testosterone.
c) Prolactine: Milk production.
3. Thyroid gland secretes:
a) Thyroxin: Stimulates metabolic intensity. It is essential for normal development.
4. Parathyroid secretes:
a) Parathyroid: Activates vitamin D.
5) Pancreas secretes:
a) Insulin: Decreases glucose concentrations in blood.
b) Glucagon: Increases glucose concentrations in blood.
6) Suprarenal medulla secretes:
a) Adrenaline and Noradrenalin: both help in stress control, increase of heart rate, blood pressure and metabolic intensity.
7) Suprarenal cortex secretes:
a) Glucocorticoids and Aldosterone: both increase blood glucose concentration, regulate sugars and lipids metabolism. They are also known for their anti-inflammatory effects.
8) Pineal secretes:
a) Melatonin: Regulates seasonal reproductive cycles. Controls the beginning of puberty in humans.
9) Ovary secretes:
a) Estrogen and Progesterone: both participate in the development and maintenance of female sexual characteristics, and uterine endometrium development.
10) Testes secrete:
a) Testosterone: Development and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics. Promotes spermatogenesis.
a) Antidiuretic or vasopressin: Promotes the absorption of water by the kidneys.
b) Oxytocin: Stimulates uterus contraction during labor and afterbirth, stimulates nipples for milk production. In men it stimulates ejaculation.

Hormones.

I think that is very important the work of the hypothalamus because, produce hormones that control / Body temperatature, Hunger, Moods, Release hormones from many glands [especially the pituitary gland], sex drive, sleep and thirst, one of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system. the hypothalamus also contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions. the hypothalamus is located below the thalamus.
The reproductive organ of the vertebrate female is the ovary, contains hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.

ReplyDeleteWhy does the pancreas secretes two things (insuline and glucagon)that have completely opposite functions, how do they work together to help the human body???

Nice to know that oxytin is the one responsable for those things.
ReplyDeleteParathyroid...? I didn't actually know that hermones were needed to activate Vitamin D...
...And can humanes control "Melatonin"?? Can we control the time of the reproductive cycles?
