Question
Chapter 28, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The events that occur from the time an endocrine gland releases a steroid hormone to the time the hormone exerts its effects on a target cell.
Concept introduction:
A hormone is produced by glands and works as a chemical messenger that circulates to all tissues, but only activates cells referred to as target cells that have specific receptors to which hormones bind. The hormones are categorized into two groups on the basis of their chemical composition; steroid and a non-steroid hormones.
