Document Summary

The interaction between the endocrine and nervous system. Exocrine secretions: cells secrete substances into a duct or onto an epithelial surface, examples: tears, sweat, saliva. Endocrine secretions: cells secrete substances into the extracellular fluid, secreted into blood plasma or interstitial fluid, examples: insulin. Types of endocrine secretions: autocrines bind to the receptors on its own cells, paracrines bind to receptors on adjacent cells. Travels through the interstitial fluid: hormones are released into the bloodstream and bind to receptors on distant cells. Hormones are chemical messengers distributed by the blood. Each cell ay have receptors for multiple different hormones. The same hormone may act on different types of target cells: epinephrine and norepinephrine can act on the heart, skin blood vessels, skeletal muscle blood vessels, and more. Three types of hormones: peptide and protein hormones. Examples: testosterone, estrogen, progesterone: amine hormones. The solubility of a hormone affects the location of the receptors: water soluble hormones have membrane bound receptors.
