    This document lists 32 hormones, their sources, and target organs/effects. The major hormones discussed include: - Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland stimulating the adrenal cortex. - Insulin and glucagon from the pancreas regulating blood glucose levels. - Growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary promoting bone and muscle growth. - Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary stimulating thyroid hormone production. - Estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) involved in female reproduction.
