aldosterone		the pituitary gland fits in the pituitary fossa in a structure called:
androgens		vascular link between the hypothalamus and the adenohypophysis
melatonin		the major hormone produced by the corpus luteum
glucagon		promotes growth
sella turcica		also known as prolactin
T4		referred to as a tissue hormone
antidiuretic hormone		plays a role in digestive processes
synergism		increases blood glucose concentrations
progesterone		has the opposite effect of parathyroid hormone
true		causes water retention
follicle stimulating hormone		the pineal gland functions to support the body's biological clock
insulin		the master gland
cortisol		target other endocrine glands and stimulate their growth and secretion
somatotropin		parathyroid hormone increases calcium absorption in the intestines by activating this
endocrine system		produced by the hypothalamus to control the adenohypophysis
triiodothyronine (T3)		lowers blood concentrations of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids
releasing hormones		the principal thyroid hormone
pituitary		the center of the adrenal gland
hypophyseal portal system		the prohormone for T3
cortex		hormone interaction
Vitamine D		the adrenal medulla secretes:
calcitonin		secreted by the corpus luteum
secretin		is classified as a amine
lactogenic hormone		gives long lasting effects and takes longer
glucagon function		steroid hormone begins with 'c'
Adrenocorticotropic hormone		a major mineralocorticoid
progesterone		referred to as male hormones
prostaglandin		stimulates the release of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids
tropic hormones		stimulates development of ovarian follicle
