Document Summary
Slide 3a: oxytocin usually in woman for breastfeeding (ot, hypothalamus -> posterior pituitary gland -> breast, also present in men. Slide 3b: from diagram: gt- calcitonin pth- parathyroid hormone, hormones involved in calcitonin homeostasis: disease is the failure of homeostatic failure. Endocrine gland (ie. adrenal gland) : 2. Organs that produce hormones as a secondary function (kidney: hor(cid:373)o(cid:374)es do(cid:374)"t (cid:272)o(cid:373)e fro(cid:373) just gla(cid:374)ds, the(cid:455) (cid:272)o(cid:373)e fro(cid:373) differe(cid:374)t orga(cid:374)s a(cid:374)d tissues.

Hormones of the pituitary gland (neuro endocrine): first picture shows hormones (oxytocin) from the posterior pituitary, second picture shows hormones (growth hormone) from anterior pituitary. Slide 5b: thyroid gland deals with metabolic rate, cortisol deals with stress response (longer stress hormones, testosterone deals with reproduction, all these examples start at the hypothalamus and through the anterior pituitary.
