Various regions of the [[Alimentary System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|Alimentary Tract]] secrete [[Hormones - Anatomy & Physiology|hormones]] which have various functions within the gastrointestinal tract itself, plus the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]], [[Gall Bladder - Anatomy & Physiology|gall bladder]] and [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology|
 
pancreas]].
 
 
 
Many of the hormones act in a ''paracrine'' fashion, exerting their effect on cells close to the secretion site without travelling in the bloodstream.
