Endocrine- comm. w/cells via chem. called
hormones
Steroid hormones (3 facts)-
lipid based, can pass thru cell memb/bind to nucleus (control gene expression)
Nonsteroid hormones (2 facts)-
nonlipid-based; water soluble, cannot pass thru cell memb. (must bind to cell receptors)
Hormones: precisely regulated because can have..
dynamic effects
Thyroid gland secreted thyroid hormones that incr..
metab. rate
-(elevate O2 conspt./heat prod. by tissues)
What gland influences normal growth; promotes metamorphasis in amph. , influ. gonad maturation ?
