Organs with Endocrine Cells
Pancreas
glucagon
increases blood glucose levels, glycogen breakdown in liver cells and lipid breakdown in adipose tissue; targets liver and adipose cells
insulin
decreases glucose levels in body fluids, glucose transport into target cells; promotes glycogen and lipid formation and storage; targets the liver and body cells
somatostatin
slows the release of insulin and glucagon to slow the rate of nutrient absorption during digestion; targets the alpha and beta cells of pancreatic islets
pancreatic polypeptide
suppresses somatostatin secretion from delta cells; targets delta cells of pancreatic islets
Kidney
calcitriol
promotes calcium absorption in the small intestine; targets the small intestine
erythropoietin
stimulates erythrocyte production and maturation; targets the bone marrow
Hypothalamus
Releasing Hormones
corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
increases secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH); targets the cortiocotropic cells in pars distalis of the anterior pituitary gland
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
increases the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone; targets the gonadotropic cells in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary
growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
increases secretion of growth hormone; targets the somatotropic cells in the pars distalis of anterior pituitary
prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH)
increases secretion of prolactin; targets the mammotropic cells in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary
thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
increases the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone; targets the thyrotropic cells in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary
Inhibiting Hormones
growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
decreases secretion of growth hormone; targets the somatotropic cells in pars distalis of the anterior pituitary gland
prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH)
decreases the secretion of prolactin; targets the mammotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary gland
Testes
androgens (testosterone)
stimulates male reproductive organ development, production of sperm; target male reproductive organs
inhibin
inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone; targets adneohypophysis
Ovaries
estrogen
stimulates development of female reproductive organs, follicle maturation; regulates menstrual cycle; stimulates growth of mammary glands; targets uterus, vagina, and breasts
progesterone
regulates menstrual cycle; stimulates growth of uterine lining; stimulates growth of mammary glands; targets uterus and breasts
inhibin
inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone; targets the adneohypophysis
Thymus
thymopoietin and thymosins
stimulate and promote the differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-lymphocytes; target the thymus and blood cells in the lymphatic system
GI Tract
digestive hormones
controls overall secretory activity and motility in GI tract; targets the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas
