Target cell - A cell with receptors for a chemical or signaling molecule, Pheromones - chemical substance released into the environment by an animal that affects the behavior of others of the same species, Endocrine Glands - control body processes through hormone secretions , Endocrine cells - cells responsible for synthesizing and releasing hormones , hormone - regulatory substance that travels through the body to stimulate a response, neurosecretory cells - translates neural signals to chemical stimuli, nonneutral endocrine cells - non-excitable cells stimulated by other hormones, neurohemal organ - an organ that releases neurosecretory substances , peptide and protein hormones - hormones made from peptides or proteins, steroid hormones - derived from cholesterol and secreted by the three steroid glands, amine hormones - derived from tyrosine, pituitary gland - controls growth and development and other glands, hypothalamus - coordinates the autonomic nervous system and activity of the pituitary, controls emotion, sleep, thirst, hunger, and more homeostatic systems. , anterior pituitary - front portion of the pituitary, influences growth, skin pigmentation, sexual development, thyroid condition, and adrenocortical function. , posterior pituitary - back portion of the pituitary, secretes oxytocin which increases uterine contractions and ADH, antidiuretic hormones (ADH) - hormone that tells the kidneys how much water to conserve, oxytocin - hormone important for childbirth and breast-feeding, tropins or tropic hormones - hormones that target other endocrine glands, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - hormone made by the pituitary that regulates cortisol production, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) - hormone essential to pubertal development, Luteinizing hormone (LH) - made by the pituitary, important for sexual development and functioning, triggers ovulation, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - stimulates the thyroid to produce T3 and T4 for metabolism regulation, growth hormone (GH) - peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell division, and cell regeneration made by the pituitary gland, hypothalamo-hypophysial system - Allows for communication with the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, releasing hormone (RH) - hormones that causes the release of other hormones, inhibiting hormone (IH) - hormones that inhibit others, Axis - hormone system that controls release of sex hormones, activated by GnRH, Androgens - male development hormones that include testosterone, estrogen and progesterone - released by the ovaries, female development hormones, gonadotropins and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) - responsible for the release of LH and FSH,
