In addition to the specialised endocrine organs mentioned above, many other organs that are part of other body systems, such as bone, kidney, liver, heart and gonads, have secondary endocrine functions. For example the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as erythropoietin and renin.A number of glands that signal each other in sequence are usually referred to as an axis, for example, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.or example the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as erythropoietin and renin.

Romney says debt plus unfunded liabilities equals $520,000 per household. By Amy Sherman on Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012 at 11:14 a.m. When Mitt Romney traveled around the country campaigning recently, he brought a debt clock with him showing the rising national debt. The total is a mind-boggling, massive number. In St. Petersburg, Fla., on May 16, 2012, Romney explained what the debt and unfunded liabilities means for every household.
Last year, state teacher pension systems had $499 billion in unfunded liabilities. That figure is up $100 billion in the two years since the groupâs last report. On average, thatâs about $10,000 in pension debt for each school-age child in the country. The teachersâ unions argue that the best way to get and keep good teachers is to promise them lifetime benefits after 25 or 30 years on the job. Stick with the job long enough and the money rolls in.
