Study Notes
Hormone Types
- Steroid Hormones: These hormones are lipid-soluble and can pass through cell membranes.
- Peptide Hormones: These hormones are water-soluble and cannot cross cell membranes.
Hormone Release
- Hormonal Stimuli: These are hormones that are circulating in the blood and can directly stimulate the release of other hormones.
Paracrine Hormone Function
- Paracrine Hormones: These hormones act locally on nearby cells.
Endocrine System Gland
- Pituitary Gland: This is a major part of the endocrine system.
Hormone Transport
- Bloodstream: Hormones travel through the bloodstream to reach target tissues and effectors.
