Erythropoietin is the hematopoietic growth factor that controls red blood cell synthesis, and it is released mainly by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the blood.

The cornea in the eye does not receive oxygen from blood. Instead, it gets its oxygen directly from the air.
The pancreas monitors blood glucose levels through specialized cells called beta cells located in the islets of Langerhans. These cells secrete the hormone insulin in response to high blood glucose levels to regulate and maintain glucose concentration within a normal range.
The lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen from the air we breathe and transferring it into the bloodstream. This occurs through the process of gas exchange in the lungs where oxygen moves into the blood vessels in exchange for carbon dioxide.
The pancreas administers and monitors blood sugar concentration.
