Section 51-1 VOCABULARY REVIEW 1. Target cells are the specific cells that are affected by a hormone. 2. A second messenger is an intracellular molecule that amplifies the signal of a first messenger. 3. A prostaglandin is a lipid that regulates the activity of cells that are in close proximity to its site of production. 4. Hormones are molecules that are secreted in small amounts‚ circulate in the bloodstream‚ and affect distant target cells. MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. d 2. c 3. a 4. c 5. c SHORT ANSWER

endocrine and exocrine glands‚ the location of the endocrine glands‚ and the hormones they secrete (objectives 1 and 6). It explains the nature of hormones‚ the substances that function as hormones‚ how hormones affect target tissues‚ how the secretion of hormones is controlled by a negative feedback system and the nervous system‚ the general function of each hormone‚ and the result of too little or too much of each hormone (objectives 2-5‚ 7‚ and 8). In addition‚ the text distinguishes between physical

Anterior Lobe (Adenohypophysis) – composed of glandular tissue; manufactures and releases its own hormones as a result of stimulation by releasing hormones from the hypothalamus; called the master endocrine gland; releases 6 hormone products which all function via second messenger systems. Four of the six are hormones that regulate the functioning

The endocrine system helps with maintaining homeostasis by regulation of the activity cells. The endocrine system is basically hormones and those hormones are released into the blood of the body controlled by stimulus. The endocrine system does not and can’t work alone. It works with many other systems every day. For example‚ it works with the nervous system to help maintain homeostasis

Essay Reproductive system The reproductive system is a system of organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of reproduction. Hormones and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system. The major organ of the reproductive system includes penis and vulva as well as a number of internal organs including the testicles and ovaries. Most other vertebrate animals have generally similar reproductive systems consisting of gonads‚ ducts‚ and openings. Human reproduction

chemical messengers. The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system (blood). They act on target cells that may be anywhere in the body. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system to reach their target. Target cells have receptors that are specific to the signaling molecules. The binding of hormones to the receptors on or within the target cell produces a response by the
