transport in the blood Flashcards
what do lipid soluble hormones require
carrier protein
what do lipid soluble hormones not readily dissolve in
blood
carriers are what type of protein
water soluble
carrier are water soluble proteins made in what organ
liver
what do carriers protect hormones from
early destruction
what is temporary between hormone and carrier
binding between hormone and carrier
what do water soluble hormones travel freely through
blood
what do a few water soluble hormones use carrier proteins for
prolong their life
why do lipid soluble hormones need a carrier protein
because of how the phospholipid bilayer is made and laid out
what is happening between the hormone and carrier even though the binding between the two are temporary
attachment, detachment, and reattachment to carrier protein
what type of hormone is mostly circulating
bound hormone
what does bound hormone mean
bound to carrier protein
what do you call unbound hormone
free hormone
what are free hormones able to do
exit blood and bind directly to target receptors
