Answer 1

1. PITUITARY:
The anterior pituitary gland produces the following hormones and releases them into the bloodstream: adrenocorticotropichormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, principallycortisol. growth hormone, which regulates growth, metabolism and body composition.

2.THYROID:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)Luteinizing Hormone (LH)Prolactin (PRL)Growth Hormone (GH)Alpha Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH)Vasopressin.Oxytocin.
The 2 main thyroid hormones are T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature, metabolism and heart rate. The amount of thyroid hormones secreted is controlled by another hormone, called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from thepituitary gland in your brain.

3. PARATHYPOID:

4. ADRENAL:
Cortisol. ...Aldosterone. ...DHEA and Androgenic Steroids. ...Epinephrine (Adrenaline) and Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline) ...Adrenal Insufficiency. ...Overactive Adrenal Glands. ...Adrenal Cancer.

5. PANCREAS:

6. TESTIS: Produces sperms and testosterone

7. OVARY: The ovaries also produce steroid hormones, Estrogen and progesterone
