Study Notes
Melatonin Production
- Produced in the pineal gland, primarily during night hours.
Hormone Triggering Smooth Muscle Contractions
- Oxytocin triggers smooth muscle contractions during labor and milk release.
Production of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
- Synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland.
Hormone Promoting Glucose Uptake
- Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose and stimulates storage of lipids.
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Production
- Secreted by the parathyroid glands located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland.
Erythropoietin Production
- Produced primarily in the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the blood.
Inhibin Production
- Secreted by the gonads, specifically in the testes and ovaries.
Hormone Triggering Ovulation and Testosterone Secretion
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation in the ovary and stimulates testosterone secretion in the testes.
Hormone Promoting Growth
- Growth hormone (GH) promotes growth, protein synthesis, and the mobilization of lipids.
Hormone Decreasing Calcium Concentration
- Calcitonin decreases calcium concentration in body fluids by inhibiting osteoclast activity.
Hormone Causing Secretion of Thyroid Hormones
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) facilitates the secretion of thyroid hormones.
Thyroxine (T4) Production
- Produced by the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck.
Hormone Increasing Energy Utilization
- Thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4), increase energy utilization, oxygen consumption, growth, and development.
Hormone Stimulating Milk Production
- Prolactin stimulates the production of milk in the mammary glands.
