Document Summary
Largely how hormones get into brain endocrine system. 3 major families of hormones (classes) (sweat, tears, and milk) releases product (hormones or other) into other areas of the. Salt balance and water retention, dehydration, impacts on blood pressure largest- protein hormones. Acth, fsh, lh, tsh, gh, prolactin, insulin, glucagon, oxytocin, vasopressin, Can"t pass through the cell membrane without active transport, and thus bind to. Mineralocorticoids protein/amine hormones are lipophobic membrane receptors which use a second messenger system to bind dna. Protein and amine hormones exert effects on cell metabolism relatively quickly, changes seen a relatively short period of time. They are chemically similar to cholesterol and thus pass easily through the lipid (fatty) membrane into the cell, where they bind directly to nuclear dna receptors. Anterior pituitary gland adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth), follicle stimulating hormone (fsh), luteinizing hormone (lh), prolactin. Synthesises hormones directly and releases them into the bloodstream. Storage spot for certain hormones produced by hypothalamus.
