Document Summary

Hormones have a slow response time and nt have an extremely rapid response time. Not soluble in water, blood plasma needs protein carriers. Fast of each action: anterior pituitary gland: endocrine cells (hormones shipped to), trophic hormones enter. This affects blood pressure, since low blood volume = low blood pressure. Found on plasma membrane because its hydrophilic and alcohol inhibits adh which explains peeing all the time. The anterior pituitary and thyroid gland: the apg releases numerous hormones in response to stimulation from the hypothalamus. Prolactin (milk production) mammary gland (no hormone: the thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped organ located in the lower neck region, just below the larynx. It produces hormones that act on most of the cells in your body to influence your metabolic rate: hormones are made in the follicles. Thyroid gland and adrenal gland: trh produces tsh which produces t3 and t4 with iodine included, too much thyroid hormone causes hyperthyroidism.
