Document Summary
What criteria distinguish hormones from other chemical messengers: know the three major classes of hormones and their basic chemical properties. What factors into the half-life, and why does it matter: know the types of endocrine glands (discrete, diffuse, intermediate) and cells (epithelial, these are synthesized, stored, and released (see table 16. 1 in your text) neurosecretory). Know how the latter are controlled: you are responsible for understanding the general function and location of the following hormones discussed in class. For a quick summary of each without digging through the text, see appendix k in your book. What are the general physiological effects of hormones secreted by the adrenal gland: understand mechanisms of hormonal modulation (negative feedback, synergism, permissiveness, antagonism) and how these influence endocrine glands and other target tissues, describe the hpa axis. Include the influence of neural control on this axis: describe the adaptive function of the mammalian stress response.
