10.1
The first cell does not have receptors for that hormone.
10.2
There are many explanations why the testing material might not detect the hormone
10.3
Hypothalamus produces the following hormones:
Growth hormone releasing hormone--Increases the release of GH from the anterior pituitary
Corticotropin releasing hormone-- Increases the release of ACTH from the anterior pituitary
Gonadotropin releasing hormone-- Increases the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary
Thyroid stimulating hormone releasing hormone--Increases the release of TSH from the anterior pituitary
Prolactin inhibiting hormone--Decreases the release of PRL from the anterior pituitary
Anterior Pituitary produces the following hormones:
Growth horomone--Increases growth in most tissues
Thyroid stimulating hormone--Increases release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland
Adrenocorticotropic (whew!) hormone--Increases the release of cortisol from the adrenal cortex
Luteinizing hormone--Stimulates ovaries or testes
Follicle stimulating hormone--Stimulates ovaries or testes
Prolactin--Stimulates milk production in the breast
Melanocyte stimulatin hormone-- Increases the synthesis of melanin on melanocytes
The Posterior Pituitary produces the following hormone:
Antidiuretic hormone--Increases the retention of water by the kidneys
Oxytocin--Increases the contractions of the uterus during birth and promotes the release of breast milk
Thyroid produces the following hormones:
Thyroxine--Increases the metabolic rate of most cells
Calcitonin--inhibits osteoclast activity, lowering blood calcium levels
Parathyroid produces the following hormone:
Parathyroid hormone-- Increases blood calcium levels by increasing osteoclast activity
Adrenal medulla produces:
Epinephrine--Enhances sympathetic response
Norephrine--Enhances sympathetic response
Adrenal cortex produces:
Cortisol--Increases protein and fat breakdown in most years
Aldosterone--Increases the retention of sodium of the kidneys
The Pancreas produces:
Insulin--Lowers blood glucose by stimulating cells to absorb glucose
Glucagon--raises blood glucose by causing liver to release glucose
Ovaries produce:
Estrogen--Sex hormone in females
Progesterone--Sex hormone in females
Testes produce:
Testosterone--Sex hormone in males
Pineal Body produces:
Melatonin--Affects rlease of GnRH by hypothalamus
Thymus produces:
Thymosin--Develops immune functions
10.4
Epinephrine,norepinephrine,thyroxine are amines. The sex hormones and the hormones of the adrenal cortex are steroids. The rest are proteins or peptides.
