What hormones target what organs?

Answer 1

There are hundreds if not thousands of hormones and each of them have effects on organs.

here are some of the basic ones

• Vasopressin -- Created by the hypothalamus, vasopressin prompts the pituitary gland to release a hormone that helps maintain blood pressure and water and electrolyte balance.
• Growth Hormone -- Growth hormone, or GH, is one of the types of hormones produced by the pituitary gland (one of the most important glands in the endocrine system); GH stimulates growth during childhood and also stimulates cell reproduction, which helps adults maintain muscle and bone mass.
• Calcitonin -- Calcitonin, produced by the thyroid gland, aids in bone construction.
• Insulin -- Insulin regulates glucose, or sugar intake, by helping it move from the blood into cells. It is one of the types of hormones produced by the pancreas.
• Adrenaline -- Produced within the adrenal glands (small glands located at the top of each kidney), adrenaline works with noradrenaline to produce the "fight or flight" response by increasing the supply of oxygen to the brain and muscles, dilating the pupils, and suppressing bodily functions not useful in an emergency situation (such as digestion).
• Noradrenaline -- Noradrenaline works with adrenaline to help the endocrine system produce the "flight or flight" response; in an emergency situation, it boosts the oxygen supply to the brain and the supply of glucose to the muscles.
