  1. (a) Hypothalamus:- Hormones secreted by the hypothalamus include Releasing Hormones. These hormones stimulate the secretions of the pituitary hormone. Examples of these hormones are:  Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone
    1. Thyrotrophin-releasing hormone
    2. Somatotropin-releasing hormone
    3. Adrenocorticotrophin-releasing hormone
    Inhibiting Hormones inhibit the secretions of the pituitary hormone. Examples of these hormones are:
    1. Somatostatin
    2. Growth-inhibiting hormone
    3. Melanocyte-inhibiting hormone
    (b) Pituitary: The pituitary gland has two components i.e., adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. Hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis are:
    1. Growth hormone (GH)
    2. Prolactin
    3. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
    4. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
    5. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
    6. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
    7. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) Hormones secreted by the neurohypophysis are:
    o Oxytocin
    o Vasopressin
    (c) Thyroid: The thyroid gland secretes 3 hormones namely, thyroxin, triiodothyronin and calcitonin (t3 t4)
    (d) Parathyroid: Secretes a hormone known as parathyroid hormone.
    (e) Adrenal: The adrenal gland is divided into 2 parts, the outer adrenal cortex and the inner adrenal medulla. Hormones of adrenal cortex include the following:
    1. Mineralocorticoids: Secreted is known as aldosterone.
    2. Glucocorticoids: secretes is cortisol.
    Hormones of adrenal medulla are adrenaline and nor-adrenalin.
    (f) Pancreas insulin and glucagon.
    (g) Testis: testosterone.
    (h) Ovary: estrogen and progesterone.
    (i) Thymus: Hormones secreted by the thymus are thymosins.
    (j) Atrium: The walls of the atrium secrete atrial natriuretic factor.
    (k) Kidney: erythropoietin.
    (l) G-I tract: Gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK), and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP).
