Amine hormones are all derivatives of Tyrosine. They include Thyroid hormones, epinephrine, nor-epinephrine(produced by adrenal medulla) and dopamine(produced by hypothalamus). Thyroid functions in regulation of metabolic rate, growth, and brain development and function. Adrenal medullary hormones function in the control of organic metabolism, cardiovascular function and response to stress.\nSteroid hormones (lipids) are produced by the adrenal cortex and the gonads as well as by the placenta during pregnancy. The hormone vitamin D is a steroid derivative. Cholesterol is the precursor of all steroid hormones. Once s.h. are synthesised they diffuse across the plasma membrane of the steroid-producing cell and enter the interstitial fluid and then blood.\nGood luck with your homework.

the endocrine system's main function is to maintain homeostasis. it does so mostly through chemical messengers called hormones. hormones are produced in one organ and used in another. the endocrine system uses many glands such as the pituitary gland, which is like the director of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus, which controls the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland, which controls growth and development and so on and so forth. there are also numerous other glands, like the thyroid gland, the and non-glands, like the pancreas, that secrete (another word for make) hormones, in the case of the pancreas, it secretes insulin and glycogen, which lower and increase the level of sugar in your blood. \n\n\nhope this helps you at all and you had better not copy  this word for word.

can't tell..........your spelling is confusing.....bio-dentical configured-hormones?   Don't know?

No, a characteristic of hormones is that they are secreted by endocrine glands in the extracellular space; from there they go to the blood. Blood transfers them to their target cells/organs which is where they act. For example, insuline secreted by the islets of Langerhans, the endocrine part of the pancreas, is one of the hormone that controls glucose level in the blood.\nOn the other hand, substances secreted by exocrine glands such as salivary glands and mucous glands, act in the place they are synthesized. Saliva gives moisture to the food and starts digesting starch in food.

THere are a lot of ways. Entire textbooks are dedicated to this. Almost any way you can think of. IN terms of energy, bloodflow, chemical composition, excretion body composistion hormones....

Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that can do many things. It depends on the hormone. \n\nHormones trigger growth spurts and the onset of puberty. They can regulate blood sugar (insulin is a hormone). Hormones can trigger the 'fight or flight' response in you when you face danger (that's adrenalin). \n\nLook at these websites:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormones

The endocrine system is a collection of glands and organs that produce and regulate hormones in the bloodstream to control many functions of the body. This system overlaps with the nervous and exocrine system, and its responsibilities include metabolism, growth, and sexual development. Most animals with advanced physiology, such as vertebrates and crustaceans, house an endocrine system.

Too many hormones.Until now, there are about 50 plus hormones discovered in human body(that is what my lecture told me-she's a Dr. actually).\nHormones can be divided into 2 broad classes: lipid-soluble hormones and water-soluble hormones.\n\n1.Lipid-soluble hormones\nLipid-soluble hormones include steroid hormones,thyroid hormones and nitric hormones.\nSteroid hormones are derieved from cholesterol.\nThyroid hormones (triiodothyronine or T3 and thyroxine or T4) are synthezed by the thyroid hormones\nNitric Oxide(NO) is both a hormone and a neurotransmitter.\n\n2.Water-soluble hormones\nThis include the amine hormones,peptide and protein hormones and eicosanoid hormones.\n\nA)Amine hormones retained an amino group on them.Examples are the epinephrine and norepinephrine.\nB)Peptide and protein hormones are amino acid polymers.Examples are the antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.\nC)Eicosanoid hormones are derived from arachidonic acid.Examples are the prostaglandins and leukotrienes.\n\nThat's the most simple answer that i can gave to you.Actually, it 's much more complicated than this.Hope this helps ya!

Bio-identical hormones.  Your body can synthesize those.  The synthetic hormones only block the body's receptors and they can lead to very serious problems.\n\nFor more info, read "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause" by John Lee, MD

A secretory protein is any protein, whether it be endocrine or exocrine, which is secreted by a cell. Secretory proteins include many hormones, enzymes, toxins, and antimicrobial peptides.

The pituitary gland secretes hormones regulating a wide variety of bodily activities, including trophic hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands.

Human growth hormone (HGH) is a substance secreted by the pituitary gland that promotes growth during childhood and adolescence.\nHormones are chemicals produced by special cells in glands and other organs of the body; most hormones are produced by cells in the endocrine glands. These hormones, which are produced in very small amounts, are released into the bloodstream and travel to the "target organ" or tissue where they exert their effect.\nSeveral hormones are involved in regulating growth. Some act directly on target organs, while others act by trig-gering the production of other hormones, which activate specific organ functions necessary for growth. This finely tuned system can malfunction in several ways, causing abnormal growth.\nThe pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it produces several hormones that control the functions of other glands. It is located in the middle of the skull below the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland secretes its hormones in response to chemical messages from the hypothalamus, the part of the brain to which it is connected. \nGrowth hormone (HSG) is an anterior pituitary hormone whose main effect is to promote growth of body tissues. Other anterior pituitary hormones affect growth indirectly by working through other glands. \nHGH is useful for treating growth hormone deficiency in children.\nAlthough growth hormone levels decline with age, it has not been proven that trying to maintain the levels that exist in young persons is beneficial. It is conceivable that age-related hormonal changes may serve as useful markers of physiological aging. However, this has not been demonstrated experimentally for either humans or animals. Although hormone-replacement trials have yielded some positive results (at least in the short term), it is clear that negative side effects can also occur in the form of increased risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and behavior changes.\n\nIt might even turn out that lower growth-hormone levels are an indicator of health. Research findings indicate that mice that overproduce growth hormones live only a short time, suggesting that growth-hormone deficiency itself does not cause accelerated aging, but that the opposite may be true. . . .

Parathyroid functions in control of plasma calcium and phosphate. Thyroid is an endocrine gland which secrets Thyroxine(T4), Triodothyronine(T3) and Calcitonin. The first two hormones function in control of metabolic rate, growth, brain development and brain functioning. The last one functions in control of plasma calcium. \nGood luck with your homework.
