Sympathetic NS
Parasympathetic NS

Parasympathetic postganglionic neurons are in the organs itself
Enlargements of spinal cord
Cervical enlargement
Lumbosacral enlargement
Hormones of the placenta
- human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) --> present until week 6, suppresses follicle maturation, maintains production of estrogen and progesterone in corpus luteum
- human placental lactogen (hPL) --> stimulates mammary enlargement and lactogenesis
- estrogens
- progesteron
Types of hormones
- Releasing hormones (RH)
- Inhibiting hormones (IH, -statin)
- Glandotrope hormones (-tropin)
- Somatotrope/effector hormones
