Q

principles of hormones

A

1) hormones act gradually
2) hormones change intensity and probability of behavior
3) hormones change behaviors, behaviors change hormones
4) hormones has multiple affects, and may be affected by multiple things
5) hormones have pulsatile secretion
6) hormones follow rhythms
7) hormones interact
8) hormones only affect cells with corresponding receptor proteins
