Introduction:
The endocrine system can be defined as a network of glands present in the body which produce the hormones. These are helpful in important body functions. Hormones led to the variations in cells by binding to receptors located on target cells. Peptide hormones are those hormones which are comprised of amino acids. Steroid hormone is that group of hormones which belongs to the class of chemical compounds.

After reading about hormones, please write a paragraph: What could happen to hormone function if target cells receptors are structurally incorrect?
Place the following steps (showing how a steroid hormone changes the activities of its target cells) in order of what happens first, second, third, fourth, and last. Refer to image.
The hormone-receptor complex enters the nucleus of the cell and binds to the DNA.
The steroid hormone passes through the cell membrane.
The hormone attaches to a receptor in the cytoplasm, forming a hormone-receptor complex.
A gene in the DNA is activated, and transcription and translation take place.
Proteins that alter the cell′s activities, such as enzymes, are made.
2. Place the following steps (showing how a hydrophilic hormone changes the activities of its target cells) in order of what happens first, second, third, and last. Refer to image.
The activity of the target cell is changed by the final enzyme in the cascade.
The second messenger activates or deactivates certain enzymes in a cascade fashion.
A second messenger is activated.
Hormone binds to a receptor protein.
the following is true for a peptide hormone? It...
is able to pass through the cell membrane
2O can act directly in the nucleus to stimulate protein synthesis
has a slower response time than a steroid hormone
O utilizes a second messenger system.

- Peanut and tree allergies are on the rise in modern, industrialized countries. Exposure to a protein in the nuts causes sensitive people to react with skin hives, reddened skin, breathing problems including the closing of the throat (anaphylaxis), and even heart attack. Much like a mosquito bite or other insect bite, this is all mostly due to the actions of one hormone in particular. 1) What hormone triggers this reaction? 2) Why does it cause swelling/closing of the throat/airways? 3) How does it change or impact the heart rate and/or blood pressure to life-threatening levels?arrow_forwardBeta-blockers are used to treat cardiovascular disorders because they are antagonists at beta-adrenergic receptors.
