Chapter 17 Flashcards | Quizlet Hormones must be synthesized, released, transported through the blood, and bind to target cells, which is a slower process compared to electrical signal transmission in the nervous system
15. 2A: Mechanisms of Hormone Action - Medicine LibreTexts Hormones are released into the bloodstream through which they travel to target sites The target cell has receptors specific to a given hormone and will be activated by either a lipid-soluble (permeable to plasma membrane) or water-soluble hormone (binds to a cell-surface receptor)
Section Two: Chapter 12: The Endocrine System The Endocrine System works by releasing chemical messengers called hormones into the blood stream which are then transported throughout the body via the blood vessels Hormones act on specific target cells that have receptors for the specific signal molecule (hormone) released
Chapter 16 Endocrine System Flashcards | Quizlet How do endocrine hormones reach their target cells? -Ducts transport hormones directly to target cells -Hormones travel through the lymphatic system to target cells -Hormones are transported through the blood stream to target cells -Hormones are released at synapses adjacent to target cells
Exploring Hormonal Communication and the Endocrine System Hormonal communication involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream, where they travel to target cells and elicit specific responses This process begins when a stimulus triggers an endocrine gland to secrete a hormone
