Misc. Flashcards
- Act locally at the site of release.
- Examples: cause fever, increase output of digestive secretions by stomach, promote inflammation and pain.
Prostaglandisn (PGs); several groups indicated by letters A - I (PGA-PGI)
Stomach; stimulates glands to release hydrochloric acid (HCI)
Gastrin
Stomach; inhibits HCI secretion and gastrointestinal tract mobility.
Intestinal gastrin
Pancreas: stimulates release of bicarbonate-rich juice.
Liver: increases release of bile
Stomach: inhibits secretory activity
Secretin
Pancreas: stimulates release of enzyme-rich juice
Gallbladder: stimulates expulsion of stored bile
Duodenal papilla: causes sphincter to relax, allowing bile and pancreatic juice to enter duodenum
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
Bone marrow: stimulates production of red blood cells
Erythropoietin
Intestine: stimulates active transport of dietary calcium across intestinal cell membranes.
Active vitamin D3
Kidney: inhibits sodium ion re-absorption and renin release.
Adrenal cortex: inhibits secretion of aldosterone
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
Brain: suppresses appetite and increases energy expenditure.
Leptin
