AP2 Endocrine Kidneys, Heart, Pancreas, and Gonads
1. What hormone acts on red bone marrow to stimulate development of
new erythrocytes (erythropoiesis); increases oxygen-carrying capacity
of blood?:
Erythropoietin (EPO)
2. Where is the hormone Erythropoietin (EPO) produced?:
Kidneys
3. What hormone triggers relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels;
increases vessel diameter (vasodilation):
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
3. Where is the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) produced?:
The
Heart
4. What hormone preps the uterus for pregnancy and supports fetal devel-
opment during pregnancy, also has effects on smooth muscle tissue,
body temperature, blood clotting, bone tissue, and metabolism?:
Progesterone
5. Where is the hormone Progesterone produced?:
The Gonads
