1. Endocrines

   • What is Hormones
     • Release by edocrine glands
       • Release to blood stream
         • Exert function on another organs
     • 2 types
       • Water soluble
         • Dissolved in blood stream
           • Bind to surface receptor
             • Activate signalling pathways
       • Lipid Soluble
         • Bind to binding protein for transport in blood stream
           • Difussed into nucleus
             • Gene transcription
   • How is it regulated?
     • Feedback Mechanisms
   • Example

2. Renal Function

3. Acid Base Balance
