In addition to endocrine glands, some organs whose functions are primarily nonendocrine also produce hormones. these endocrine tissues include heart and kidneys.
<span>
The heart can act as an endocrine organ by releasing natriuretic peptides that lower the blood pressure. Those are an A-type natriuretic peptide (ANP) from the from stretched atria and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) from the ventricles.</span>
<span>
The kidney secretes two hormones: erythropoietin (EPO) which increase the production of red blood cells and calcitriol (active vitamin D3) which promotes the absorption of Ca and its release from the bones.</span>
Inside our body, millions of nephrons in the kidney filter wastes in 2 steps. Each nephron has a glomerulus and a tubule. Waste filtering undergoes 2 steps:
First, fluid and waste pass through the glomerulus but, proteins, blood cells, and other large molecules are prevented from passing through. Second, the filtered fluid passes through the tubule wherein the filtered wastes are removed; minerals are sent back to the body, and the remaining output becomes urine.
The atmosphere is a closed system.
