QuestionAnswer
endocrine function communication and control of bodily processes through secretions into the blood - slower communication than nervous, longer lasting effect
hormone's various functions reproductions cycles - cellular metabolism - bodily growth - fluid and electrolyte balance - pH balance - MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS
two types of glands exocrine - endocrine
releases products into ducts that lead to surface of body and/or into other organs exocrine
hormone release into blood directly -> the blood takes the hormone to the target cell endocrine
the cell affected by hormones target cell
a chemical messenger used to produce cellular function hormone
4 classes of hormones protein - steroid - prostaglandins - tropic hormones
bind to receptors w/in the target cell membrane -> triggers second response inside the cell protein hormone
lipid based - slips through phospholipid bilayer - delivers message to nucleus, telling which gene needs to be transcribed -> leaves cell and becomes muscle steroid hormone
tissue hormone - released from gland into surrounding tissue prostaglandins
special hormone that targets other endocrine glands to release their hormones tropic hormone

the hypothalamus controls the endocrine system through this gland pituitary gland
tropic hormones are found in what gland pituitary
