Ch 45- 47 Study Guide
What is a hormone? What is its role in homeostasis and feedback loops.
How do they function?
The difference between water-soluble hormones and steroid hormones. How are they
dispersed and trigger responses on their target cells.
TRH, TSH, thyroid, T3, T4, disorders
What is a tropic hormone? What is a non-tropic hormone? Examples of Tropic hormones
Steps in a signal transduction pathway.
Examples of endocrine and nervous system working together in glands or cells. Examples
of hormones triggering a NS. response, or the NS. triggering a hormonal response
Ex. adrenal gland
Relationship between hypothalamus, anterior and posterior pituitary
