____ 1. Oxytocin a. Stimulates kidneys to excrete (lose) Na+ and H2O.
Regulates blood pressure.
____ 2. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or
vasopressin b. Reduces Ca+2 in ECF stimulates bone deposition
and ossification. Effects primarily children.
____ 3. Aldosterone
c. Regulates menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
Promotes growth of uterine lining (endometrium).
Also stimulates female growth and development.
____ 4. DHEA or Adrenal Androgens
d. Drives thyroid gland to grow and secrete thyroid
hormone (T3 & T4)
____ 5. Luteinizing hormone (LH) e. Promotes Na+ retention and K+ secretion by
kidneys, maintains blood pressure & volume.
____ 6. Renin
f. Elevates metabolic rate, O2 consumption and heat
production. Stimulates respiration and circulation
____ 7. Growth hormone (GH) or
somatotropin g. Regulates embryonic development of males and
sex drive in females.
____ 8. Cortisol
h. Promotes uterine motility and milk let down
(release). Also important in female affection.
____ 9. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) i. Regulates blood pressure and aldosterone
production
____ 10. Testosterone j. Regulates corticosteroids (i.e., cortisol) secretion
from adrenal cortex
____ 11. Glucagon k. Maintains corpus luteum for ~3 months following
successful embryonic implantation. Detected by
EPT ©
____ 12. Adrenal corticotrophic hormone
(ACTH) l. Regulates growth of gametes: oocytes in females
and spermatozoa in males. Also stimulates
ovarian follicles to secrete estrogen in females.
____ 13. Human chorionic gonadotropin
(HCG) m. Promotes tissue growth mainly by triggering
release of somatomedin (a potent growth
stimulator) from the liver.
____ 14. T3 & T4 (thyroid Hormone) n. Surge causes ovulation and produces progesterone
via corpus luteum in females. Also stimulates
interstitial cells in testis to make testosterone.
____ 15. Epinephrine and Norepinephrine o. Controls metabolism and response to stress.
Increases blood glucose. Suppresses immune
(defense) system.

production and libido.

____ 19. Calcitonin
s. Mediates part of the sympathetic response to
stress. Affects metabolism (increases blood
glucose). Also increases heart rate & BP
____ 20. Atrial Naturetic Peptide/Factor t. Affects metabolism (increases blood glucose)
