| Explain why the nervous system is compared to an airmail delivery system. | Nervous system uses rapidly propagated electrical "messages"
🗑
|
||||
| Explain why the endocrine system is compared to the pony express. | Endocrine system "messages" (hormones) are released into the blood to travel much more slowly to target organs.

|
||||

|
||||
| What do all hormones have in common? | they are all chemical molecules that have specific target organs and that are reached via blood.

|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| If hormones travel in the bloodstream, why don't all tissues respond to all hormones? | The proper "hormone" receptors must be present on the plasma memebrane or within the cells for the tissue cells to respond.

🗑
|
||||
| What is the hormone and the site of production for the maintenance of salt and water balance in the extracellular fluid? | ADH and hypothalamus; aldosterone and adrenal cortex

||||
| What is the hormone and the site of production that is directly involved in milk production and ejection? | oxytocin and the hypothalamus; prolactin and anterior pituitary
🗑
|
||||
| How does the hypothalamus control both anterior and posterior pituitary functioning? | Produces "releasing and inhibiting hormones" which control the production and release of anterior pituitary hormones; forms hormones ADH and oxytocin, which are transported to the posterior pituitary then released on nervous stimulation from hypothalamus
