Endocrine System (Organs with Endocrine Cells (GI Tract (Cholecytokinin…

- - - - Stimulates reabsorption of water from tubular fluid in kidneys; stimulates vasoconstriction in arterioles of body, thereby raising blood pressure
    - - Female: stimulates smooth muscle contraction in uterine wall; stimulates milk ejection from mammary glands
      - Male: stimulates smooth muscle contraction of male reproductive tract
  - - - promotes calcium absorption in small intestine
    - - stimulates erythrocyte production and maturation
  - - - Increases blood glucose levels, glycogen breakdown in liver cells, lipid breakdown in adipose cells
    - - Decreases glucose levels in body fluids, glucose transport into target cells; promotes glycogen and lipid formation and storage
    - - Slow releases of insulin and glucagon to slow rate of nutrient absorption during digestion
    - - Suppresses somatostatin secretion from delta cells
  - - - act by stimulating and promoting the differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-lymphocytes.
    - - act by stimulating and promoting the differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-lymphocytes.
  - - - produces a male sex hormone such as testosterone; stimulates male reproductive organ development, production of sperm
    - - inhibits secretion of FSH
  - - - stimulates development of female reproductive organs, follicle maturation; regulates menstrual cycle; stimulates growth of mammary glands
    - - inhibits secretion of FSH
    - - Regulates menstural cycle; stimulates growth of uterine lining; stimulates growth of mammary glands
- - - - Stimulates production of corticosteroid hormones
    - - Female: stimulates growth of ovarian follicles
      - Male: stimulates sperm production
    - - Stimulates increased growth and metabolism in target cells; stimulates synthesis somatomedin in the liver to stimulate growth in the epiphyseal plate
    - - Female: stimulates ovulation, estrogen and progesterone synthesis in corpus luteum of ovary
      - Male: stimulates androgen synthesis in testes
    - - Female: stimulates milk production in the mammary glands
      - Male: May play a role in the sensitivity of the interstitial cells to LH
    - - stimulates thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion
  - - - Stimulates reabsorption of water from tubular fluid in kidneys; stimulates vasoconstriction in arterioles of body, thereby raising blood pressure
    - - Female: stimulates smooth muscle contraction in uterine wall; stimulates milk ejection from mammary glands
      - Male: stimulates smooth muscle contraction of male reproductive tract
  - - - reduces calcium levels in body fluids; decreases bone resorption by osteoclasts and increases calcium loss through kidneys
    - - Increases metabolism, oxygen use, growth and energy use; supports and increases rate of development
  - - - increases calcium levels in blood through bone resorption; increases calcium absorption by small intestine by calcitriol; decreases calcium loss through the kidneys
  - - - aldosterone
        
        regulates the ratio of sodium and potassium ions in our blood by stimulating sodium retention and potassium secretion
      - cortisol
        
        resist stress
      - Androgens
        
        produce male sex hormones (testosterone)
  - - - Hormone that regulates our circadian rhythms
