Introduction:
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by glands into the extracellular fluids. The secreted hormones reach the target cells through the bloodstream and they stimulate response of other tissues or cells. Hormones bind only to specific cells based on their corresponding receptors on cells and they act through chemical signals. They regulate growth, development, blood pressure,

- Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. i) From what you have learned so far in the course, identify two endocrine glands that are considered to be neuroendocrine. Be specific. ii) Describe a situation/example for each, that demonstrates this function.arrow_forwardThompson Medical Company manufactures and sells Aspercreme, a topical analgesic. Aspercreme is a pain reliever that contains no aspirin. Thompson’s advertisements strongly suggest that Aspercreme is related to aspirin, however, by claiming that it provides “the strong relief of aspirin right where you hurt.” Is Thompson’s advertisement for Aspercreme false and misleading? Explain.arrow_forwardHow does the receptor location differ for lipid- versus water-soluble hormones and why?arrow_forward
- Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. i) Identify two endocrine glands that are considered to be neuroendocrine. Be specific. ii) Describe a situation/example for each, that demonstrates this function.arrow_forwardFor each hormone pair below, explain how the two hormones are related. If they are antagonistic, explain the specific opposing functions. A) Calcitonin and Parathyroid hormone B) Oxytocin and Prolactin C) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Thyroxine (T4)arrow_forwardThe ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on a) the location of the tissue or organ with respect to the circulatory path O b) the membrane potential of the cells of the target organ c) the presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organarrow_forward
- Which of these assertions about hormones is not accurate? Which of these assertions about hormones is not accurate? A.)Hormones produced by the hypothalamus are considered neurohormones. B.) Cortisol is released in response to the release of ACTH from the pituitary. C.) Hormonal changes during puberty and pregnancy are forms of endocrine disruption. D.) Growth and metamorphosis are controlled by hormones.arrow_forwardName the two primary male sex hormones.arrow_forwardis it true that neurotransmitters can act as hormones as well as stimulate the release of hormones as well as stimulate the release of hormones?arrow_forward
- Epinephrine 1) transmits information across the synapse in the brain but is 2) also released by the adrenal glands into the blood supply. Which neurochemical roles is epinephrine playing in these descriptions? A) 1) neurotransmitter and 2) neurohormone B) 1) neuromodulator and 2) neurohormone C) 1) neurohormone and 2) neuromodulator D) 1) neurotransmitter and 2) neuromodulatorarrow_forwardDescribe the conjunctiva and state its function.
