Almost every hormone effects another in some way. That is how our body maintains homeostasis. Mostly this is done through negative feedback loops, one hormone does it's function until another system releases a counteracting hormone.

There is no short answer for this, endocrinology is an entire science of these interactions, but likely the most commonly heard (and constantly in action) are the RAA system or Renin Angioensin Aldostrone system. Renin tells your body it needs to hydrate so thirst is stimulated (a whole oher system) and Aldosterone is produced to trade ions of sodium for potassium. Sodium then attracts water fom the cells and extra cellular space to increase vascular volume. Angiotensin tells the arteries to contract to increase blood pressure (also through a cascade of reactions including angiotensin I, II, and III). Angiotensin is also what some blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors) work on. When there is suffient vascular volume the negative feedback is from the arteries to begin allowing sodium to be excreted. Disease of the system is seen as SIADH (usually head injury damages Angiotensin II receptors in medulla) od Diabetis Insipidus (inability to maintain fluid electrolyte balance through constant diuresis {peeing}).

What are three endocrine organs whose activity is stimulated by pituitary hormones?

Thyroid gland: Stimulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary, it releases thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. Adrenal glands: Stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary, they secrete cortisol that helps in stress response. Ovaries or testes: Stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary, they regulate reproductive functions and hormone production.


What two body systems interact to deliever hormones to the organs they affect?

Although some hormones are stimulated for release by humoral factors (nutrient and ion concentrations), most are either directly stimulated for release by the nervous system or indirectly stimulated for release though inhibitory or releasing hormones via the hypothalamus which is also part of the nervous system. The transport part of your question is that the endocrine system relies on the cardiovascular system to circulate the hormones throughout the body in order to reach their target organs.

What gland initiates the growth and other physical changes of adolescence?

In the male, it is the testes. In the female, it is the ovaries. Each is stimulated by the pituitary gland in the brain. As puberty approaches, the pituitary secretes hormones, FSH and LH to stimulate the testoserone production in the testes or the estrogen production in the ovaries which bring on secondary sexual characteristics.


How does your organs work with other systems to keep the body working?

They work together with the use of hormones and negative feedback mechanisms. There are releasing hormones as well as stimulating hormones from the pituitary gland which detect when an organ needs to be stimulated or decreased in activity. The whole mechanism is called the Homeostatic mechanism
