6Other tissues and organs that produce hormones:
Adipose cells, small intestine, stomach, kidneys, heart, and skin
7Posterior pituitary is also called…..
Neurohypophysis (neural tissue)
8Anterior pituitary is also called….
Adenohypophysis (glandular tissue)
9What is the NEURAL connection between the hypothalamus and Neurophypophysis?
Hypothalamic-hypophyseal tract
10Two hormones that are made by the Hypothalamus, but are stored and released from the Neurophypophysis?
Oxytocin (OT) and Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
11What is the VASCULAR connection between the hypothalamus and Adenohypophysis?
Hypophyseal portal system

14How is the two lateral lobes of the Thyroid gland connected?
Isthmus
15Hormone secreted by Parathyroid Gland?
Parathyroid Hormone
16Parathyroid Glands:
4-8 tiny glands embedded in the posterior surface of the thyroid gland
17Where are the Adrenal glands located?
Found atop or close to each kidney
18What are the three hormones secreted in the Adrenal Cortex in order?
Aldosterone, Cortisol, and Androgen
19Way to remeber the hormones secreted in the Adrenal Cortex
Salt, Sugar, Sex
20Hormones secreted by the Adrenal Medulla
Mainly Epinephrine (adrenaline), some Norepinephrine
21Hormone secreted by Pineal Gland?
Melatonin
22Pancreas’ EXOcrine acinar cells produce…
