bonus: what do you call the chemical mediators?

Answer 4

endocrine glands

bonus: hormones

Question 5

chemical mediators/substances/messengers that regulate all the functions and processes of the endocrine system, carried by the blood to some distant part of the body where it exerts its effect

bonus: what secretes these chemical mediators?

Answer 5

hormones

bonus: endocrine glands

Question 6

differentiate endocrine system and endocrinology

bonus: define both

Answer 6

endocrine system - enables the animal to adjust to changes in its environment

endocrinology - deals largely with the phase of environmental adjustments

bonus:
endocrine system - interacting group of glands that secrete hormones, helping to control the functions of cells and organs throughout the body

endocrinology - branch of physiology dealing with the study of the structure and functions of the endocrine glands and their hormone secretions

Question 7

branch of physiology dealing with the study of the structure and functions of the endocrine glands and their hormone secretions

Answer 7

endocrinology

Question 8

True of False:

Answer 8

False, hormones only excite or inhibit the existing cell reaction

Question 9

Modified True of False:

Hormones do not initiate reaction in a cell but only excite or inhibit the existing cell reaction

bonus: What are enzymes?

Answer 9

True

bonus: enzymes - catalyst that accelerates the rate of reaction in the human body

Question 10

Answer 10

enzymes are catalyst that accelerates the rate of reaction in the human body

hormones are the chemicals that are released into our bloodstream to circulate the message through different organs of the body

Question 11
