The pituitary gland controls the release of hormones by many glands
1.) Primary glands- glands who's main purpose is to create and secrete hormones
2.) Secondary glands-Glands who's main purpose is something else, but they also (like a part-time job vs. a full time job) create and secrete hormones
there are 7 Primary endocrine glands-
1.)Parathyroid glad- secretes parathyroid hormone which increases calcium concentration in plasma
2.)Pineal Gland- secretes melatonin (pertaining to circadian rhythms sleep/wake cycle)
3.) Pancreas which secretes- Insulin, somatostoin, glucagon
4.) Adrenal glands-
a.) cortex- secretes androgens, mineralcorticoids,glucocorticoids
b.)Medulla- chrommafin cells secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine
5.)Gonads- estrodiols, adrostenodione, progesterone, testosterone
6.)Thymus- thymosin
7.) Thyroid- T3, T4, Calcitonin (antagonist to parathyroid, decreases calcium concentration in plasma)
Secondary:
1.)Heart- Atrialneuropeptides
2.) Liver- Insulin-like growth factors
3.)Kidneys- Erythropoietin, renin
4.)GI track-CCK, gastrin, secretin,GIP
5.)Skin-Vitamin D
