Pancreas which secretes- Insulin, somatostoin, glucagon 4.) Adrenal glands- a.) cortex- secretes androgens, mineralcorticoids,glucocorticoids b.)Medulla- chrommafin cells secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine 5.)Gonads- estrodiols, adrostenodione, progesterone, testosterone 6.)Thymus- thymosin 7.) Thyroid- T3, T4, Calcitonin (antagonist to parathyroid, decreases calcium concentration in plasma) Secondary: 1.)Heart- Atrialneuropeptides 2.) Liver- Insulin-like growth factors 3.)Kidneys- Erythropoietin, renin 4.)GI track-CCK, gastrin, secretin,GIP 5.)Skin-Vitamin D
