5
Q
Hormone receptor interaction
A
Defined by Kd
Dissociation constant
6
Q
Conc of hormone is determined by 3 factors
A
Rate of release
Rate of delivery
Rate of degradation and elimination
7
Q
Rate of release
A
Synthesis and secretion
Controlled by positive and negative feedback
8
Q
Rate of delivery
A
High blood flow delivers more hormones
9

A
Short half life
Rapid removal
