1. Oxytocin
2. Calcitonin
Calcitonin secreted by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in humans, and in many other animals. Its function is to decrease calcium levels in the blood and thus acting as antagonist of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
3. Thyroid gland
The thyroid gland consists of two lobes which surrounds the cricoid and tracheal cartilages.
4. Adrenal glands
The adrenal glands are also known as suprarenal glands, being endocrine in nature that produce a many hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol. These are located above the kidneys.
5. Hormone
these are special chemical messengers which are synthesized in glands, transported to their target via blood where they perform their specified function
6. Beta cells
Pancrease has three different types of cells viz
Alpha which secrete glucagon
Beta cells secrete insulin
Delta cells secrete somatostatin.
7. Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. Example the pineal gland, pituitary gland, , thyroid gland, adrenal glands. parathyroid gland, hypothalamus,pancreas, ovaries, testes
8. tropic hormone
9.thyroxine
10. thymus
Aldosterone |
steriod |
Aldosterone regulates the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, encouraging the kidney to excrete potassium into the urine and retain sodium, thereby retaining water. |
Thyroxine |
Derivatives of the the amino acid tyrosine |
It plays vital roles in digestion, heart and muscle function, brain development and maintenance of bones. |
Vasopressin |
peptide |
Stimulates reabsorption of water, conserves water |
Adrenaline |
catecholamine. |
Helps body to adapt to long term stress, mobilizes fat and increases blood sugar level |
ACTH |
Peptide |
The function of ACTH is to regulate levels of the steroid hormone cortisol, released from the adrenal gland. |
Epinephrine |
catecholamine. |
Helps body to adapt to long term stress, mobilizes fat and increases blood sugar level. It is also called stress hormone. |
oxytocin |
Stimulates uterine contractions |
