stimulates release of pancreas digestive enzymes, gallbladder contractions
builds and repairs endometrium; development of 2 female characteristics
regulates metabolic rate
stimulates milk production

stimulate uterine contractions
stimulates release of bicarbonate from pancreas
thickens endometrium with spiral glands in preparation for implantation
causes water reabsorption in collecting ducts of kidneys
stimulates widespread growth in body
controls levels of blood sugar by promoting storage of glucose
causes Na+ and water reabsorption in convoluted tubules of kidney
decreases levels of blood calcium
stimulates thyroid to release hormones
Choose a hormone secreted by each gland (there may be more than one answer).
adenohypophysis
neurohypophysis
ovarian follicles - theca interna cells
thyroid glands
duodenum – neuroendocrine cells
ovarian corpus luteum
adrenal cortex - zona glomerulosa
testis - interstitial cells
pancreas
adrenal medulla
Explanation / Answer
1). stimulates ovulation; maintains corpus luteum -------> LH (luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary is necessary for the ovulation to occur. )
2). stimulates release of hormones from adrenal cortex ----> ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone from the anterior pituitary)
3). promotes breakdown of glycogen to release of glucose ------> Glucagon (from the pancreas)
4). stimulates development of ovarian follicles -----> FSH (follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary)
5). stimulates spermatogenesis; development of 2 male characteristics ----> Testosterone (from the testes)
6). increases levels of blood calcium -----> PTH (parathyroid hormone from the thyroid gland)
7). stimulates release of pancreas digestive enzymes, gallbladder contractions ----> CCK (cholecystokinin)
