Organs with Endocrine Cells
kidney
calcitriol-stimulates the intestinal cells
EPO- causes increase in the rates erythrocyte production and masturation
renin-stimulates certain cells of the adrenal cortex and produce and secrete aldosterone
hypothalamus
CRH- targets corticotropic cells and increases secretion of ACTH
GnRH- targets gonodotropic cells in in pars distilis of anterior pituitary- increases secretion of follicle stimulating hormone
GnRH- targets somatocrine- increases secretion of growth hormones
PRH targets mammotropic cells and increases secretion of prolactin
TRH targets thyrotropic cells and increases secretion of TSH
pancreas
glucagon- targets liver and adipose cells- increases blood glucose levels
insulin- decreases glucose levels in body fluids
somatostatin- targets alpha and beta cells of pancreatic islets- slows release of insulin and glucagon- to slow rate of nutrient absorption during digestion
pancreatic polypeptide- targets delta cells of pancreatic islets- supresses somatostatin secretion from delta cells
GI Tract
various hormones related to digestion-controls overall secretory activity in the GI tract
cck- facilitates digestion
thymus
thymopoietin and thymosins- these hormones act by promoting the growth and differentiation of t-lymphocytes.
testes
androgens- production of sperm; stimulates male organ development
inhibin- inhibits secretion of follicle stimulating hormone
ovaries
estrogen- stimulates development of female reproductive organs ; stimulates growth of mammary glands
inhibin- inhibits secretion of follicle stimulating hormone
progesterone- regulates menstrual cycle- stimulates growth of uterine lining
