Does the endocrine system work slow or fast?
Slow but lasts longer
Which system does the endocrine system work with?
Nervous system
What are functions of the endocrine system?
regulates metabolism, digestion, reproduction
Free hormones act on their target tissues immediately after being delivered from the blood. True or
False
True
Exocrine secretes glands through ducts true or false
true
Where does endocrine release?
Blood stream
What links the nervous system to the endocrine system?
hypothalamus
What are hormones?
Chemical messengers that control the growth, differentiation, and metabolism of specific target cells
What is autocrine?
Local regulator acts on the cell that released it (a note to remind yourself) common in cancer cells
Paracrine?
Referring to a secreted molecule that acts on a neighboring cell.
Steroid hormones are synthesized by

cAMP
What happens when something binds to a protein?
shape is changed therefore the job of protein is changed.

If there is no receptor, that cell is not going to be affected.
What does thyroid hormone make us produce more of?
