Organs with Endocrine Cells
Hypothalamus
Corticotropin-Releasing hormone
corticotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
increases secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Gonadotropin-Releasing hormone
gonadotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
increasing secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
Somatocrinin
somatotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
increases secretion of growth hormone (GH)
Prolactin-Releasing hormone
mammotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
increasing secretion of prolactin (PRL)
Thyrotropin-Releasing hormone
thyroptropic celss in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
increasing secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Somatostatin
somatotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
decreases secretion of growth hormone (GH)
Dopamine
mammotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
decreases secretion of prolactin (PRL)
Kidney
Calcitriol
promotes calcium absorption in small intestine
Erythropoetin
stimulates erythrocyte production and maturation
Pancreas
Gucagon
increases blood glucose levels, glycogen breakdown in liver cells, lipid breakdown in adipose cells
Insulin
liver and body cells
decreases glucose levels in body fluids, glucose transport into target cells; promotes glycogen and lipid formation and storage
Somatostatin
alpha and beta cells of pancreatic islets
slows release of insulin and glucagon to slow rate of nutrient absorption during digestion
Pancreatic Polypeptide
delta cells of pancreatic islets
suppresses somatostatin secretion from delta cells
Thymus
Thymopoietin and Thymosins
act by stimulating and promoting the differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-lymphocytes
GI Tract
Various hormones related to digestion
controls overall secretory activity and motility in GI tract
Ovaries
Estrogen
stimulates development of female reproductive organs, follicle maturation; regulates menstrual cycle; stimulates growth of mammary glands
Progesterone
regulates menstrual cycle; stimulates growth of uterine lining; stimulates growth of mammary glands
Inhibin
inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone
Testes
Androgens (primarily testosterone)
stimulates male reproductive organ development, production of sperm
Inhibin
inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone
