Organs with Endocrine Cells
Hypothalamus
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
Gonadotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
Increases secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH)
Somatotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
Increases secretion of growth hormone (GH)
Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)
Corticotropic cells in pars distalis of anterior pituitary
Increases secretion of (ACTH)
Kidney
Erythropoietin
Blood Stream
Increases rates of erythrocyte production and maturation resulting in increases oxygen capacity for transporting blood
Calcitrol
Intestinal Cells
Promotes calcium absorption in small intestine
Renin
Adrenal Cortex
stimulates adrenal cortex to produce and secrete aldosterone
Pancreas
Insulin
Liver and body cells
Decrease glucose levels in body fluids, glucose transport to target cells, promotes glycogen and lipid formation and storage
Somatostatin
Alpha and Beta cells of the Pancreatic islets
Slows release of insulin and glucagon to slow rate of nutrient absorption during digestion
Glucagon
Liver and Adipose Cells
Increases blood glucose levels, glycogen breakdown in liver cells, lipid breakdown in adipose cells
Pancreatic Polypeptide
Delta Cells of Pancreatic islets
Suppresses somatostatin secretion from delta cells
Thymus
Thymopoietin and Thymosins
T-Lymphocytes
Promote differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-Lymphocytes
GI Tract
Gastrin
Chief and Parietal cells
Stimulates contractile activity of gastric muscle
Somatostatin
Nearby enteroendocrine and exocrine cells
Modulate the function of those cells
Testes
Testosterone
Various body cells
Regulates sex drive, bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, and production of red blood cells and sperm
Ovaries
Estrogen and Progesterone
Uterus
Stimulates continual buildup of uterine wall and prepares uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg
