All of the following statements relating to endocrine signaling are correct EXCEPT: O a. All peptide hormones are stored in vesicles and are released via exocytosis, whereas steroid hormones are not. O b. All steroid hormones bring about changes in gene expression, whereas protein hormones may or may not affect gene expression. O c. Hormonal signals enter the bloodstream, so hormones influence all cells with which they come in contact. O d. Histamine can be considered to be a paracrine hormone. O e. A single endocrine gland can secrete multiple hormones.

The action of steroid hormones is different from that of peptide hormones becausea. peptide hormones must enter the cell to begin action, whereas steroid hormones must begin action on the external surface of the cell membrane.b. steroid hormones must enter the cell to begin action, whereas peptide hormones must begin action on the external surface of the cell membrane.c. peptide hormones produce a hormone receptor complex that works directly on the DNA, whereas steroid hormones cause the release of a secondary messenger that triggers enzymes.d. None of these answers is correct.

Endocrine downregulation ... a) ... occurs in target cells that respond to hormones that are present in constant amounts in the blood. b) ... leads to the increased sensitivity of the target organ to the hormone. c) ... leads to a decrease in the number of receptors in the target cell. d)... occurs in part due to increased receptor synthesis in the target cell.
Signaling by soluble extracellular molecules can be classified as endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine. Describe how these three types of cellular signaling differ. Growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary, which is located at the base of the brain and acts through growth hormone receptors located on the liver. Is this an example of endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine signaling? Why?
Which of the following observations can be explained by the properties of hormone receptors? a) A certain tissue can react to more than one hormone b) A certain hormone affects only a specific tissue, not all tissues c) Some tissues react very quickly to a certain hormone, other tissues take many hours to react to the same hormone
Compare and contrast signaling events in the nervous vs. endocrine systems. How does a “message” get from the original neuron or endocrine gland to the target? How does the signal get transduced into something the target cell can respond to? Be sure to include a description of the signaling molecules and cellular receptors involved in each of these systems.
Recently, a Gα q-coupled receptor was discovered that mediates at least some of the many activities of estrogen. At the time, this discovery generated considerable controversy, as it ran counter to what was then the understanding of how steroid hormone signaling worked. Which of the following observations might have led the investigators to suspect the existence of this newly discovered receptor? A. Activities of estrogen apparent less than 1 minute after application of the hormone B. The growth promoting activity of estrogen C. The presence of estrogen nuclear receptors in cells not previously known to respond to the hormone D. Estrogen is found in much higher concentrations in adult women than adult men E. Uptake of estrogen by target cells
