These digestive, respiratory and urinary systems. These cells, called APUD cells, secrete chemical cells, called APUD cells, secrete chemical messengers that generally act in a paracrine manner.messengers that generally act in a paracrine manner.

The Endocrine Glands

Most organs have some endocrine function. The next lectures will deal with organs whose only functions are to secrete hormones:
