The Heart releases Natriuretic Peptides which act to lower blood pressure and thus work antagonistically to the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System.
| Hormone | Site of Secretion within GIT | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cholecystokinin | Duodenum | Stimulates digestion of fat and protein by causing release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancreas and gall bladder. |
| Gastrin | G-Cells in Stomach and duodenum | Stimulates Parietal cells in the stomach to secrete HCl and Chief cells to secrete pepsinogen. |
