Hormones of the Heart, Kidney, and Gastrointestinal tract
- The atrial wall of our heart secrets a peptide hormone, Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), which decreases blood pressure through the dilation of blood vessels.
- The kidney produces a peptide hormone called Erythropoietin which stimulates erythropoiesis (formation of RBC).
- The gastrointestinal tract secretes four major peptide hormones, namely Gastrin: which stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
- Secretin: stimulates the secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
- Cholecystokinin (CCK): stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice.
- Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP): inhibits Gastric secretion and mobility.

NCERT Notes for Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration
NCERT Notes Biology Class 11 Chapter 19 Chemical Coordination and Integration: The study of chemical coordination and Integration forms an important part of human physiology. Chemical coordination, integration, and regulations in the human body are carried out by special chemicals called hormones. Regulation, growth, and development of our organs, the endocrine glands, and cells are carried out by hormones.
Here, in Chapter 19 of Biology Class 11 NCERT Chemical Coordination and Integration, we will study the Human endocrine system, Hormones, and their mechanism of action.
