Answers
Specific for Thyroid hormones in direct association with one or more of the
chromosomes. - ANSWERNucleus Receptors
Released by axon terminals ofneurons into the synaptic junctions and act locally to
control nerve cell functions. - ANSWERNeurotransmitters
released by glands or specializedcells into the circulating blood and influence the
function of target cells at another location in the body. - ANSWEREndocrine
hormones
Secreted by neurons into the circulating blood and influence the function of target
cells at another location in the body. - ANSWERNeuroendocrine hormones
Secreted by cells into the extracellular fluid and affect neighboring target cells of a
different type. - ANSWERParacrines
Secreted by cells into the extracellular fluid and affect the function of the same cells
that produced them. - ANSWERAutocrines
Peptides secreted by cells into the extracellular fluid and can function as autocrines,
paracrines, or endocrine hormones - ANSWERCytokines
Interleukins, colony-stimulating factors, interferons, and tumor necrosis factors. -
