Kidney
Calcitriol
acts on the small intestine to increase calcium absorption
Erythropoietin
acts on the bone marrow to increase red blood cell production
Pancrease
Glucagon
glucagon acts on the liver and increases blood glucose levels
Insluin
insulin acts on the liver and other body cells to promote glucose intake, decreasing glucose levels in the blood overal
Somatostatin
somatostatin acts on alpha and beta cells of pancreatic islets to decrease the release of insulin.
Pancreatic Polypeptide
Acts on delta cells to decrease somatostatin
Thymus
thymopoietin and thymosins
These hormones act to promote the growth and maturation of T-cells, which play a significant role the immune system.
GI Tract
The GI produces hormones that assist in digestion, including those that stimulate secretions, small intestine activty and gall blader stimulation and so on.
Testes
Androgens (testosterone)
Testosterone acts on numerous places in the body, but primarily acts to promote the development of sex organ maturation and sperm production.
Inhibin
Acts on the anterior pituitary to decrease the release of FSH.
Ovaries
Estrogen
Estrogen acts on the femal sex organs, promoting development of such sex organs, menstraul cycle and growth of mammary glands.
Progesterone
progesterone acts on female sex organs to help regualte the menstraul cycle, promote mammary gland growth and growth of the uterine lining.
