Major human hormones and their primary functions:

Pituitary Hormones:

• Growth Hormone (GH): Stimulates growth and development.
• Prolactin: Stimulates milk production in lactating mothers.
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
• Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal ¹ glands to produce cortisol.
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Regulates the development of eggs in females and sperm in males.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Triggers ovulation in females and testosterone production in males.
• Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH): Regulates water balance in the body.

Thyroid Hormones:

• Thyroxine (T4): Regulates metabolism, growth, and development.
• Triiodothyronine (T3): The active form of thyroid hormone.

Adrenal Hormones:

• Cortisol: Stress hormone that regulates blood sugar, blood pressure, and the immune system.
• Aldosterone: Regulates salt and water balance.
• Epinephrine (Adrenaline): Prepares the body for "fight or flight" response.
• Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline): Also involved in the "fight or flight" response.

Pancreatic Hormones:

• Insulin: Regulates blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells.
• Glucagon: Raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of glucose from the liver.

Sex Hormones:

• Estrogen: Female sex hormone responsible for the development of female sexual characteristics.
• Progesterone: Female sex hormone involved in pregnancy and the menstrual cycle.
• Testosterone: Male sex hormone responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics.

Other Important Hormones:

• Leptin: Regulates appetite and energy expenditure.
• Ghrelin: Stimulates appetite.
