Major endocrine glands are: pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pineal, pancreas kidneys, thymus, reproductive organs (testes and ovaries) Hormones secreted are: growth hormone (gh) , prolactin (prl) , thyroid- Stimulating hormone (tsh) , adrenocorticotrophic hormone (acth), follicle- Stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh: gh: Two hormones from the hypothalamus control the gh secretion: ghrh (growth hormone releasing hormone) and ghih (growth inhibiting hormone: prl: Promoting milk production after birth: tsh. Controls secretion of hormones from thyroid gland. Hypothalamus regulates tsh by producing thyrotropin-releasing hormone (trh: acth. Controls secretions of hormones from adrenal cortex: fsh and lh. Affect gonadotrophins, which are reproduction parts in males (testes) and females (ovaries) Two hormones that get released are: anti-diuretic hormone (adh) and oxytocin (ot: adh: Drinking too much water inhibits adh release in kidneys. Therefore, making excrete more until water concentration is normal: ot: Stretching of uterus in later stages of pregnancy releasing oxytocin.
