The Hormone Song
Let's start in the pituitary gland that's split in two
Anterior and Posterior secrete 8 hormones in you.
The anterior produces luteinizing hormone or LH,
It tells men to produce testosterone and women to
ovulate Adrenocorticotropin is released when you are stressed.
It stimulates release of Corticosteroids,
Which we later will address.
Growth hormone stimulates cell growth in your ears and arms and hands,
And prolactin stimulates milk production in the mammary
glands. TSH reminds the thyroid that it absorbs iodine.
It also keeps your thyroid gland production right on time.
FSH will stimulate the production of egg or sperm.
Let's move to the 2 posterior hormones that you need to learn.
These 2 are secreted by the posterior, but produced in its neighbor
Oxytocin stimulates contractions when a woman is in labor
Vasopressin, or ADH, is the next hormone we see,
It promotes blood volume increase
through reabsorbing water from your pee -
Melatonin is the hormone that the pineal gland does make
It controls circadian rhythm--tells
you when to sleep and when to wake.
The thymus gland is found in the middle of your chest.
It produces thymosin which keeps your immune system at its best.
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine--also called T4 and T3.
Are produced in the thyroid--stimulate metabolic activity.
Calcitonin is the next one and you really ought to know,
It stimulates osteoblasts, which help your bones to grow.
Parathyroid produces PTH--a fact that is well known

It stimulates osteoclasts to break down your bone
Atrial Natriuretic Hormone is a tough one--so in case you aren't
quite sure It reduces blood water, salt,
and fat to decrease your blood
pressure (And that one is made in the heart) -
The adrenal glands are found on the kidneys, both left and right
The medulla makes epinephrine and
norepinephrine, which stimulate right or flight
They raise your heart rate and blood
glucose--send more oxygen to your brain,
And they stop unnecessary body functions so your energies not
strained Adrenal Cortex produces
corticosteroids that we sang about before,
Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol,
will increase your blood glucose for sure,
It will slow down protein synthesis throughout the body
Mineralocorticoids, like aldosterone, absorb sodium from the kidneys
The pancreas produces 3 main hormones you will see,
Insulin converts glucose to glycogen to be stored as energy
Glucagon re-converts glycogen if your sugar intake has ceased
Somatostatin inhibits these two hormones from being
released. Estrogen will bring young girls into maturity
Progesterone joins in to help support a pregnancy
There is one hormone left, that I think you should all know,
It turns boys to manly men--it's called testosterone.
