Question

What is the hormone secreted by a muscle cell and are the two hormones secreted by neurons?

Answer 1

Cardiac muscle cells produce ANH, Specialized neurons produce ADH and oxytocin.

Explanation:

Only special types of muscle cells and nerve celles (neurons) produce hormones.

Muscle cells
Only cardiac muscle cells produce the hormone Atrial Natriuretic Hormone (ANH) also called Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP). Among other things this hormone regulates blood pressure and blood volume homeostasis.

Nerve cells
Only specialized neurons, called neuroendocrine cells, produce hormones. These cells can be found in the hypothalamus and produce the hormones Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) -also called vasopressin- and oxytocin.

ADH regulates the amount of water in the body. Oxytocin is involved in bonding between people (therefore also called the cuddle/ love hormone) and induces contractions in the uterus during labor.
