Abstract
The endocrine system governs the body. Pituitary hormones manage the body. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) governs thyroxine and triiodothyronine release by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones control basal metabolic rate in the body. They control the bone growth, the body’s sensitivity to epinephrine and norepinephrine, and control fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) controls adrenal gland hydrocortisone production, which is a human stress hormone. Hydrocortisone elevates the blood pressure and prepares the body for a fight or flight response. When stress is detected, hydrocortisone generates blood glucose to cope with the body’s stress issue. Hydrocortisone promotes the human immune system and in that respect has become an administered universal panaceas to promote healing. ACTH also promotes adrenal aldosterone production. This circulates throughout the body and acts on an intracellular receptor within the tubules of the kidney. It regulates and activates the Na+/K+ balance pumps within the kidney
