3. Create a TABLE summarizing the endocrine organs (beginning with the hypothalamus), the hormones produced, the target organs of the hormones and the effect produced.
HYPOTHALAMUS | PITUTATARY | TARGET ORGAN | EFFECT |
Gonadrotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) |
Leutinizing Hormone |
Gonads |
Production of esterogen and testosterone from ovaries and testis. develoment of Ovum. |
GnRH | Follicle stimulating hormone | Gonads |
male - production of sperm in the seminiferous tuble female - develoment of follicle |
Corticotrophil releasing hormone (CRH) | ACTH | Adrenal cortex |
Glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid relase. Salt and water reasbsorption by aldosterone. Cortisole - Glucocorticoid Sex hormones production - like progesteron, estrogen, testosterone |
Prolactine relasing hormone | Prolactin | Mammary gland | Stimulate mammary gland growth and milk production |
Growth Hormone realeasing Hormone | Growth Hormone | Liver and all body | Stimulate the liver to produce growth factors and stimulate bone and cartilage growth |
Anti Diuretic Hormone | Posterior pitutary | Kidney | Retention of water, increasing permiability of DCT and CT to water |
Oxytocin | Posterior Pitutary | Mamary gland | uterine contraction during parturation adn increases milk ejection by mammary gland |
