|
oxytocin |
PRODUCED IN: Hypothalamus, STORED AND RELEASED FROM: Posterior pituitary; uterine contraction during childbirth, breast milk release, child-parent bonding |

Thyroid; reduces blood calcium by inhibiting dissolution of calcium from bone |
|
parathyroid hormone (PTH) |
Parathyroid; increases blood calcium by stimulating bones to release calcium |
|
epinephrine |
Adrenal gland (adrenal medulla); prepares the body for handling stress or physical activity, increase energy metabolism |
|
