Exercise 2. Answer the questions below regarding the endocrine system. 1. Define hormone: Chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands, transposted by blood, and induces a response in target cells 2. Can you think of a hormone that may take months to have its affects? Growth hormone 3. Can you think of a hormone that only takes seconds to have its affects? Adrenaline 4, Define target tissue: Tissues that respond to the hormones. 5. If hormones travel where ever blood goes, why don’t all cells respond to all hormones? Because they need to have the proper receptors for the horomones,1. Chemically, hormones belong to two molecular groups: 1) _ Steroid and 2) peptide 2. The _ Steroid hormones often change DNA transcription in the nucleus. 3.The _Peptide hormones are not lipid soluble and so must bind to the plasma membrane. 4, What do all hormones have in common? © transported through the blood. © Secreted in rospomse to a stimulus ©All hormones are involved in feedback mechanismsFy 25 zs Thyroid ‘Thymus1, Thyroid Gland 2, Adrenal 3, Pituitray 4, Testes 5, Parathyroid 7, Thymus 8, Pineal Gland 9, Pancrease 10, Heart located in the throat; bi-lobed gland connected by an isthmus. found sitting on top of the kidneys. Anterior and connected to the hypothalamus, it has a front and back portion. Posterior pituitary paired glands suspended in the scrotum outside of the body. gland small structures sitting on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. found in the pelvic cavity of females, concerned ‘ova and estrogen. sits in the upper thorax overlying the heart. found in the center of the brain and shaped like a tiny pine cone. a mixed gland, located close to the stomach and small intestine. although not a primary endocrine gland, it releases hormones.Endocrine glands Endocrine: tissue Vesicles15.1 Endocrine glands Exocrine vs. endocrine glands + Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts that carry these products to other organs or outside the body * Endocrine glands secrete their products directly into the bloodstream — Hormones are chemical signals that promote communication between cells, body parts, and even individualsSpecify the hormones secreted by the following glands and their functions e@ Kidney @ Ovaries @ Testicle @ Adrenal Gland @ Pancrease @ Thymus @ Thyroid e Parathyroid e Pituitary glands Check HandoutDescribe how the brain control and related to the endocrine system
