Hormone	Secreted from	Controlled by	Target (s)	Principal action (s)
hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)	Placenta	Pituitary gland	Endometrium of uterus	Maintains pregnancy
TSH	Adenohypophysis	Hypothalamus	Thyroid gland	Maintains hormones of thyroid
FSH	Adenohypophysis	GnRH from Hypothalamus	ovaries and testes	Ovum and sperm maturation
LH	Adenohypophysis	GnRH from Hypothalamus	Ovaries	Ovulation and development of corpus luteum
PRL (prolactin)	Adenohypophysis	Hypothalamus	Mammary gland	Production of milk
GnRH	Hypothalamus	Hypothalamus	Ovaries and testes	initiate and maintain their reproductive functions.
ACTH	Adenohypophysis	Hypothalamus, pituitary gland and adrenal gland	Adrenal gland	stimulates the secretion of cortisol by adrenal cortex
Oxytocin	Hypothalamus	Hypothalamus	Uterus and mammary gland	Uterine contraction, milk let down
T3 and T4	Thyroid gland	TSH from pituitary gland	All most all body tissue	Increases the metabolism
Calcitonin	Thyroid gland	Pituitary gland	Bones	nhibits the activity of osteoclasts to reduce calcium levels in the blood
PTH	Parathyroid gland	Pituitary gland	Bones, intestines and kidneys	Calcium homeostasis
Aldosterone	adrenal cortex	Renin angiotensin system	Kidney	regulates sodium and potassium levels in the blood to control BP
Epinephrine	adrenal medulla	Neural pathway from hypothalamus	Muscles and blood vessels	Increases blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar levels
Cortisol	adrenal cortex	ACTH from pituitary gland	All the body tissue	Regulates blood sugar levels
Insulin	Pancreas	blood sugar levles	Throughout body	Helps decrease blood glucose levels
Glucagon	pancreas	Blood sugar levels	Liver	Helps increase blood glucose levels
Estrogen	ovaries	hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone	Female reproductive organs	sexual development and growth; maintains functioning the female reproductive system
Testosterone	Testes	hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone	Throughout the body	sexual development and growth spurt; maintains male reproductive tract function
ADH	Hypothalamus	Negative feedback from Hypothalamus	Kidney	conserves water

Dexamethasone is a drug used to suppress the secretion of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary.

Dexamethasone is a drug used to suppress the secretion of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary. Two patients with hypersecretion of cortisol are given dexamethasone. Patient A’s cortisol secretion falls to normal as a result, but patient B’s cortisol secretion remains elevated. Draw maps of the reflex pathways for these two patients and use the maps to determine which patient has primary hypercortisolism. Explain your reasoning.
