comparison between the different hormones Flashcards
what are the two types of hormones that are the same
protein and amine hormones
water soluble
protein/amine
fat soluble
steroid hormone
enter the cell
steroid hormone
do not enter the cell
protein/amine
attach to a receptor on the cell membrane
protein/amine
attach to a receptor in the cytosol or nucleus to form a hormone/receptor complex
steroid hormone
uses secondary messenger (cyclic amp)
protein/amine
secondary messenger switches on/off enzymes inn the cytosol
protein/amine
does not use a secondary messenger
steroid hormone
hormone/receptor complex activates gene to produce new enzymes via protein synthesis
steroid hormone
fast action as enzymes are already made
protein/amine
slower action as enzymes have to be manufactured
steroid hormones
examples- any pituitary hormone
FLATPG+ADH and oxytocin
protein/amine
examples- sex hormones oestrogen or testosterone
