Hormones Lecture 1
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1How are hormones transport around the body?Via the vascular circulatory system
- 2Which hormones are synthesised and secreted on demand and which hormones are stored before secretion?There are 2 kinds, hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
Hydrophilic ones are easily stored (i.e adrenaline) and the hydrophobic needs to be secreted on demand (i.e hormones). - 3What stimuli stimulate the release of hormones?3 possible stimuli. In response to other hormones, body auto-adjust to the baseline, emotion or physical stress. Hormonal, Humoral, Neuronal.
- 4What mechanism regulate hormone secretion?There are 3 mechanisms, Simple feedback loop, Hierarchical control and the negative feedback control.
- 5How is the specific actions of hormones achieved?Hormones are specific to the receptors, with selective hormones targeting at selective receptors. Specific actions can be achieved.
- 6Where do hydrophobic hormones act?As it's name said it is hydrophobic, so it will interact with cell receptors inside the cells
- 7Where do hydrophilic hormones act?Surface receptors
