Term 1 of 72
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
secreted by: anterior lobe of pituitary gland
target: adrenal cortex
action: stimulates release of adrenal cortex hormones
secreted by: chief cells of the parathyroid glands
target: bone and kidneys
action: raises blood calcium levels (removes calcium from bones and reabsorbs calcium by
the kidney)
secreted by: anterior lobe of pituitary gland
target: thyroid gland
action: stimulates release of thyroid hormones
secreted by: follicle cells of thyroid gland
target: all cells
action: together, they regulate oxygen utilization and rate of metabolism of the cells
