Specific cells or tissues which are receptive to hormones
AKA posterior pituitary gland
Monitors and decreases blood Ca2+ levels
Secreted by the Neurohypophysis and governs the reabsorption of water via the kidneys
Released via the anterior pituitary gland & is responsible for the production of sex cells causing the maturation of the female gamete as well as stimulating the testes to synthesize testosterone
AKA adenohypophysis
Storage of thyroid hormones
Known as "The Conductor or The Director" which governs homeostasis and controlled by the ANS
AKA somatotropin and promotes germination & maturation of most cells and tissues of the body
Chemical messengers
Verticales
A narrow strip of tissue that connects the two lobes of the thyroid gland in the front of the neck
Governs the balancing of the parasympathetic NS, HR, SNS, and releases NE and EPI & small amounts of dopamine
Thyroxine which contains 4 iodine atoms which increases the BMR and is stored in the colloid
Surrounds and protects the storage site for thyroid hormones
Stimulates the contraction of the cells of the mammary glands resulting in the release of milk for a newborn
Stimulates mammary glands to begin the production of milk for a newborn
A stalk-like structure suspended from the hypothalamus
Synthesizes hormones which are life sustaining and critical for balancing cholesterol levels, reproductive hormones levels, electrolyte balance, regulating glucocorticoids and other organic fuel supplies
Adrenocorticotropic hormone which controls hormone production in the adrenal cortex
AKA TSH
