- Define endocrine system of mammals???arrow_forwardThe propagation and reception of signals between nerve cells must happen quickly, in order for an organism to respond to stimuli appropriately. Because of that, the majority of neurotransmitters fall into which category? -Autocrine -Paracrine -Endocrine -Direct signalingarrow_forwardCompare and contrast the nervous and endocrine system as to their coordination and control of the body systems in animals (use table or venn diagram)arrow_forward
- ↑ @ Which statement is true? exocrine glands secrete chemical messengers called hormone directly in the blood stream an endocrine response is faster than a nervous response When a hormone binds to a specific receptor it triggers a series of reactions inside the cell O Steroid hormones bind to a receptor in the plasma membrane 11 Which of the following statements about the relationship between the nervous and endocrine systems is NOT correct? ↑ Hypothalamus controls a part of the endocrine system called the pituitary gland. Hypothalamus produces ADH Neurons of the sympathetic nervous system stimulate the production of hormones from the adrenal gland. None of these. с O % 4¢ 5p #/$ 3 £ 31 acer Oll MEAN A 6- & 18⁰ O 71 * 00 8² O 93 1 poi ✓arrow_forwardA certain peptide hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland located at the base of the mammalian brain. The hormone targets specific cells in many parts of the body. Which of the following best explains a possible mechanism that would allow the hormone to reach all of the target cells in the body? A B с D The hormone diffuses into target cells adjacent to the anterior pituitary gland and dif- fuses through their cell membrane. The hormone moves through plasmodesmata between cells until it has reached all cells with the correct intracellular binding sites. The hormone interacts with neurons at the base of the brain and directs signals to the target cells through the neuronal network. The hormone is released into the bloodstream, where it is transported to all cells with the correct receptors.arrow_forwardA hormone differs from a neurotransmitter in thata. hormones act extracellularly, whereas neurotransmitters act withinthe cell that synthesized them.b. hormones are released only by neurons, whereas neurotransmittersare released by many different types of cells.c. hormones cause only fast responses (seconds or less) to stimuli,whereas neurotransmitters cause slow responses (minutes to hours)to stimuli.d. hormones affect only epithelial cells, whereas neurotransmittersaffect only muscle cells.e. hormones are released into the bloodstream and can activate manycells in many parts of the body, whereas neurotransmitters arereleased by neurons and affect adjacent cells.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is not an accuratestatement?(A) Hormones are chemical messengers that travelto target cells through the circulatory system.(B) Hormones often regulate homeostasisthrough antagonistic functions.(C) Hormones of the same chemical class usually have thesame function.(D) Hormones are often regulated through feedback loopsarrow_forwardPositive feedback loops are used in chemical messaging in the body. Below is a list of steps that describe how a positive feedback system works in chemical messaging. The list is out of order. Placed the list in the proper order. 1. A sensor in a persons finger senses a change in the bloodstream. 2. The chemical messenger triggers the production of a specialized protein in the finger in response to the original signal. 3. A chemical messenger is released from the brain and travels to the finger. 4. As the specialized protein is made in the finger, it triggers the production of even more specialized protein. 5. The brain determines that conditions are no longer in homeostasis.arrow_forwardHow do hormones compare structurally and functionally in invertebrates and vertebrates?arrow_forward
- Describe how blood sugar (e.g. glucose plasma concentration) is regulated with the hormones, insulin, and glucagon. For this feedback loop, identify the following components of the feedback loop: stimulus, receptor, control center, efferent pathway, effector, and response. Be comfortable with this feedback loop to be able to describe the effects of changing various components of the feedback loop.arrow_forwardWhich the following is NOT a way that we can regulate hormones in the body? Select one or more: O a. Hormone biosynthesis Ob. Negative feedback loop O C. Positive feedback loop d. Precursor processing O e. Signaled hormone release Of. Hormone metabolism g. Plasma protein binding h. All of the above are ways that hormones are regulatedarrow_forwardHormones are signaling molecules that can alter cellular activity and gene expression. Hormones also have diverse chemical structures. How does the chemical nature of different classes of hormones influence how/where it interacts with target cells?arrow_forward
