What gland controls hormones?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The pituitary gland is often considered the "master gland" of the endocrine system because it controls the release of hormones from other glands in the body. It is connected to the hypothalamus in the brain, which helps regulate its function and hormone secretion.
