اينڊوڪرائن نظام: جي ورجائن ۾ تفاوت

 

A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the [[hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis]]. In addition to the specialized endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems, including [[bone]], [[kidney]], [[liver]], [[heart]] and [[gonad]]s, have secondary endocrine functions. For example, the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as [[erythropoietin]] and [[renin]]. Hormones can consist of either amino acid complexes, [[steroid]]s, [[eicosanoid]]s, [[leukotriene]]s, or [[prostaglandin]]s.<ref name=Marieb/>
