• Cortisol is anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive.
• Thyroid secretes iodothyronines 
and a peptide hormone (calcitonin).
• Hypothalamic releasing/inhibitory hormones reach the anterior pituitary via the hypophyseal portal blood, not axons.
• LH stimulates Leydig cells (not Sertoli) to secrete androgens; FSH acts on Sertoli cells.
