1. circulate free/unbound, short half-life, proteins that are polarized with a high molecular weight and cannot
diffuse across the lipid layer of the cell (plasma) membrane. They need someone to open the door from the inside.
glycoproteins, catecholamines, and peptide hormones composed of polypep- tides, e.g. thyroid-stimulating
hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteiniz- ing hormone and insulin. These molecules are not lipid-soluble
and therefore cannot diffuse through cell membranes: water-soluble hormones
2. What are some examples of water-soluble hormones?: glycoproteins, cate- cholamines, and peptide hormones
composed of polypeptides, e.g. thyroid-stimu- lating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and
insulin.
3. These are transported bound to a carrier protein, can remain in the blood hours to days, cortisol and
adrenal androgens are examples.: lipid-soluble hormones
4. What are some examples of lipid soluble hormones?: Steroid hormones are fat-soluble molecules made from
cholesterol. Among these are the three major
sex hormones groups: estrogens, androgens, and progesterone. Steroid hormones, including aldosterone.
5. Hypothalamic-releasing hormones are released from the:

Act on anterior pituitary to release specific hormones
6. Anti-diuretic hormone is released from the:: posterior pituitary
7. What is the action of ADH?: allows reabsorption of water by making collecting ducts permeable to water.
Causes conservation of body water by promoting water reabsorption by renal tubules.
8. The posterior pituitary releases this hormone which causes contraction of the uterus and lactation.: oxytocin
9. This regulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal cortex. Its target or- gan is the Adrenal gland/cortex. It is
released from the anterior pituitary.: ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone)
10.This is released from the anterior pituitary and Stimulates pigment produc- tion in the skin: Melanocyte-
stimulating hormone (MSH)
11.This is released from the anterior pituitary and is Essential to normal tissue growth and maturation and
