Endocrine organs or glands are those that pour their secretions directly into the bloodstream or lymph.

The heart secretes a factor called Atrial natriuretic factor which is a peptide hormone which reduces an expanded extracellular fluid volume by increasing renal sodium excretion.

Answer 2

The Endocrine System. The endocrine system controls relatively slow processes in the body by releasing hormones, chemical messengers, directly into the bloodstream from glands. ... Even though these hormones are released directly into the bloodstream they are specific only to the targeted organs or tissues.
