Organs with Endocrine Cells
Thymus
Thymopoietin
Targets T cells/ pituitary gland
helps with immunity and pathogens
Thymosins
specialized types of T cells
helps with immunity and pathogens
Testes
androgens
targets male reproductive system
stimulates male reproductive organ development, production of sperm
inhibin
targets male reproductive system
inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone
Kidney
calcitriol
targets small intestines
promotes calcium absorption in small intestines
erthyropoietin
targets blood
stimulates erythrocyte production and maturation
Pancreas
glucagon
targets blood
raises blood sugar
insulin
targets blood
lowers blood sugar
Hypothalamus
Oxytocin(OT)
targets female reproductive system
effect is triggers uterine contractions during childbirth
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
targets kidneys, sweat glands, circulatory system
effect is water balance
GI Tract
Gastric Inhibitory peptide
targets the stomach
stimulates insulin secretion after a meal
Gastrin
targets the stomach and pancreas
stimulates secretion of gastric acid
Cholecystokinin
targets gallbladder
contracts and releases stored bile into intestine
secretin
targets the pancreas
stimulates pancreas to secrete water and bicarbonate
Vasoactive intestinal peptide
targets brain
a neuropeptide that functions as a neurotransmitter and brings blood flow to the GI tract
Ovaries
Estrogen
targets female reproductive
stimulates development of female reproductive organs, follicle maturation; regulates menstrual cycle; stimulates growth of mammary glands
Inhibin
targets female reproductive
inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone
Progesterone
targets female reproductive
regulates menstrual cycle, stimulates growth of uterine lining; stimulates growth of mammary glans
