Q

Action Categories: Enters interstitial spaces and binds specific receptor in adjacent gland for its effect

A

Paracrine

19
Q

Action Categories: Enters interstitial space and binds specific receptor cell of the origin to autoregulate its function

A

Autocrine

20
Q

Action Categories: Remains associated with plasma membrane and acts on adjacent receptor by direct cell to cell

A

Juxtacrine

21
Q

Action Categories: moves to extracellular space, binds to receptors in nearby cells for its action

A

Neurocrine

22
Q

Action Categories: enters the circulation, interacts with receptor of cells of distant sites

A

Neuroendocrine

23
Q

Action Categories: crosses synapse and binds to receptors in another neuron affecting its action

A

Neurotransmission

24
Q

cyclal patterns of hormone release

A

Biorhythms

25
Q

Biorhythms types

A
  1. Circadian/Diurnal
  2. Infradian – occur over a period of time greater than 24hours
  3. Ultradian – less than 1 day
26
Q

38
Q

hydrophilic, no need of carrier and usually in low concentrations

A

Proteins

39
Q

when 1 hormone cannot exert its full effect without another hormone being present

A

Permissiveness

40
Q

more than one hormone produce same effects on target cells

A

Synergism

41
Q

one hormone opposes the action of another hormone

A

Antagonism

42
Q

Target Cell Specificity response depends on

A
