Thyroid Gland
Calcitonin (CT)
reduces calcium levels in body fluids; decreases bone resorption by osteoclasts and increases calcium loss through kidneys

Adrenal Cortex
Corticosteroids
aldosterone
regulates the ratio of sodium and potassium ions in our blood by stimulating sodium retention and potassium secretion

the GI tract hormones secreted by endocrine cells in the stomach and small intestine promote activity during digestion
