Endocrine Cells - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Acts as a melanocyte in epidermis to produce melanin.
  - - - Produces milk in mammary glands during/after pregnancy.
    - - Plays a role in sensitivity of interstitial cells.
  - - - Stimulates thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion.
  - - - Release IGF from liver to body tissues. It contributes to increased growth and metabolism in effectors (almost every cell in the body).
  - - - Smooth muscle contraction in the uteral line and milk production from mammary glands.
    - - Smooth muscle contraction in male reproductive tract.
  - - - Reabsorbs water from tubular fluid in kidney and vasoconstriction in arterioles (higher blood pressure).
  - - - Stimulates ovulation and estrogen/progesterone synthesis in corpus lusteum of ovary.
    - - Production of androgen synthesis in testes.
  - - - Development of ovarian follicules in women.
    - - Development of sperms in men.
  - - - Acts on Adrenal Cortex to create corticosteroids.
- - - - Increases blood glucose levels, glycogen breakdown in liver cells and lipid breakdown in adipose cells.
  - - - Decreases glucose blood level in body fluids, glucose transport in effectors, and promotes glycogen and lipid storage and formation.
  - - - Slow release of insulin and glycogen to reduce nutrient absorption during digestion.
  - - - Suppresses somatostatin secretion from delta cells.
- - - - Promotes calcium absorption in small intestines.
  - - - Stimulates erythrocyte prodcution and maturation.
- - - - Stimulates and promotes differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-lymphocytes.
  - - - Stimulates and promotes differentiation, growth, and maturation of T-lymphocytes.
- - - - Target: Penis/ testes
        
        Stimulates reproductive organ development (production of sperms).
    - - Target: Testes
        
        Inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone.
  - - - Target: Ovaries and mammary gland
        
        Development of reproductive organ, follicle maturation, regulates menstrual cycle, growth of mammary glands.
    - - Target: Uterus, Mammary glands, Ovaries
        
        Regulates menstrual cycle, growth of uterine lining, growth of mammary glands.
    - - Target: Ovaries
        
        Inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone.
- - - - Increases sodium and water loss in urine which leads to decreased blood pressure.
