endocrine
effects of hormones
-
-
alter plasma membrane permeability, potential, or both
-
-
types of hormones
neurocrine: a hormone communicating between cells in nervous system or from neurons to a vascular bed for transport to a distal site
paracrine: a hormone is secreted to act at a local site targeting neighboring cells of a different type (ex: gastrin)
-
autocrine: a hormone that is produced by a cell to act on that same cell or via gap junctions to neighboring identical cells
structure of hormones
protein and polypeptides
ex: insulin, glucagon, parathyroid hormone
-
steroids
ex: cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, and testosterone
-
-
hormone transportation
hydrophobic hormones: circulate in the blood bound to plasma proteins (mainly albumin) (ex: steroids, thyroid hormones)
water-soluble hormones: dissolved in the plasma and travel to their target tissues (ex: proteins, catecholamine = NE, dopamine, epinephrine)
hormones: are chemical messengers that are made in one place (origin) and transported via blood? to reach specific cells in other tissues (target)
tyrosine kinase receptors: nerve growth factor, growth factor, and insulin receptors all have a tyrosine kinase portion
