nervous v. endocrine systems: timing   show
🗑
show nervous system: muscle cells, gland cells, other neurons | endocrine system: cells throughout body  
🗑
show secrete products into ducts + then into cavities, lumina, or outside of body | EX/sudoriferous, sebaceous, mucous, digestive glands  
🗑
endocrine glands   show
🗑
show EX/hypothalamus, thymus, pancreas, ovaries, testes, kidneys, stomach, liver, heart, adipose tissue, placenta  
🗑
show regulation of interstitial fluid, metabolism, contraction of smooth/cardiac MT, glandular secretions, some immune activities | development | repro systems | circadian rhythms

🗑
free fraction   show
🗑
examples of hormone actions   show
🗑
general pattern of lipid-soluble hormone action   show
🗑
show when w-s h binds to receptor on outer surface of membrane, it acts as the first messenger | the first messenger then causes production of a second messenger inside the cell | very small #s of first-m molecules can cause large chain reactions  
🗑
show first messenger binds to receptor on membrane | binding causes adenylate cyclase to convert ATP into cyclic AMP | cAMP activates several enzymes | activated enzymes catalyze physiological responses  
🗑
