1. 2. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into cells or extracellular fluid. Although most of the body cells are exposed to hormones, only target cells that contain the appropriate receptor proteins are able to respond.

3. The secretion of most hormones is controlled by a positive feedback mechanism. 4. Specialized endocrine cells form the islets of Langerhans in the liver. 5. The level of glucose in the blood decreases after meals. 6. The beginning of the ovarian cycle is stimulated by the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). 7. The corpus luteum acts like an endocrine gland secreting estrogen, progesterone, and inhibin. 8. Melatonin is secreted if blood pressure falls below normal levels.
