Summary
This chart provides an overview of the chemical nature of different types of hormones, including steroids, peptides/proteins, and amines. It covers hormone examples, precursors, solubility, transport, receptor location, and time before action. The chart also highlights the hormones' release points and their effects on the anterior pituitary and the body. It's an excellent resource for studying hormones and the endocrine system in biology.
