    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.
