Adrenal Glands Produce adrenaline which signals the rest. of the body to prepare for fight or flight. Adrenaline Controls the fight or flight response to. provide sudden bursts of energy and. strength. Endocrine glands Glands secrete hormones that regulate. processes such as growth, reproduction, and. nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells. Estrogen A female sex hormone produced by the. ovaries: men secrete smaller amounts from. the testes.
The pituitary gland is often called the master gland. That is because the pituitary gland produces hormones that regulate other endocrine glands. Some hormones produced by the pituitary gland are: 1. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Will be discussed in a later Chapter of the syllabus.2. Luteinising Hormone (LH): Will be discussed in a later Chapter of the syllabus.ome these hormones, called releasing hormones, stimulate the pituitary gland to make other hormones. Others, called release inhibiting hormones, prevent the production of pituitary hormones. An example is growth hormone releasing factor. This causes the production of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland.
