Endocrine system

Gland	Hormones	Functions	Diseases
Hypothalamus In the middle of the brine	Releasing Hormone	stimulates the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and secretes tropic hormones.
	Inhibitory  Hormone	Inhibits the production of tropic hormones in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Pituitary  Below the hypothalamus	TSH (Inner lobe)	Stimulate the activity of the thyroid gland
	ACTH (Inner lobe)	Stimulate the activity of the adrenal cortex
	GTH (Inner lobe)	Stimulate the activity of testis/ovaries.
	Somatotropin (Inner lobe)	Growth hormone. Promote growth of the body.
	Prolactin (Inner lobe)	Production of milk
	Oxytocin (Outer lobe)	Facilitates child birth by stimulating the contraction of smooth muscles in the uterine wall. Facilitates lactation.
	Vasopressin (Outer lobe)	Regulate the level of water in the body through the reabsorption of water in kidneys.
Pineal In the middle of the brine	Melatonin	Sleep cycle, reproductive cycle
Thyroid In the throat just below the larynx	Thyroxine	Control the metabolic rate, increase energy production, regulate growth in children
	Calcitonin	Inhibits release of calcium from the blood
Parathyroid Behind the thyroid gland	Parathormone	Stimulate the release of calcium from the blood
Adrenal Above the kidneys	Epinephrine (Inner medulla)	Act along with the sympathetic nervous system during emergency.
	Norepinephrine (Inner medulla)	Act along with epinephrine
	Cortisol (Outer medulla)	The synthesis of glucose from protein and fat. Slow down the action of defense cells. Controls inflammation and allergy.
	Aldosterone (Outer medulla)	Maintains the salt-water level by acting in kidneys. Maintains blood pressure.
	Sex hormones (Outer medulla)	Controls the development and functions of sex organs.
Thymus Just below the sternum	Thymosin	To control the activities and maturation of T lymphocytes which help to impart immunity.
Pancreas Connected to the duodenum, the continuation of the stomach	Insuline (Beta Cells)	Cellular uptake of glucose molecules.
		Convert glucose into glycogen in the liver and muscles.
	Glucagon (Gama Cells)	Converts the glycogen stored in the liver to glucose.
		Synthesize glucose from amino acids.
Testis  Outside of abdomen lie inside the scrotum	Testosterone	Controls secondary sexaul characters and sperm proguction
Ovary On either sides of uterus	Estrogen	Controls secondary sexaul characters, ovulation, menstrual cycle ctc
	Progesterone	Controls ovulation menstrual cycle and implantation of embryo in the uterus
