- Secreted by the ovaries in women (estrogens) and by the testes in men (testosterone); stimulate osteoblasts and promote the sudden "growth spurt" that occurs during the teenage years; shut down growth at the epiphyseal plates around age 18-21, causing lengthwise growth of bone to end; contribute to bone remodeling during adulthood by slowing bone resorption by osteoclasts and promoting bone deposition by osteoblasts
- Secreted by the parathyroid glands; promotes bone resorption by osteoclasts; enhances recovery of calcium ion from urine; promotes formation of the active form of vitamin D (calcitriol)
