Hormones and Their Functions Chart

The document lists various hormones, the glands that secrete them, and their effects. It discusses hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, growth hormone, glucagon, insulin, luteinizing hormone, noradrenalin, oxytocin, parathyroid hormone, prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, thyroxine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. It notes that hormones are secreted by glands like the pituitary, adrenals, thyroid, ovaries, testes, hypothalamus, and pancreas and go to target tissues to have effects like stress response, calcium regulation, growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
