1. Glands
Answer A specialized cell, group of cells, or organ that secretes substances to be used by or eliminated from the body.
2. Endocrine system
Answer major regulatory system that uses hormones to produce homestatic adjustments
3. functions of enocrine system
Answer 1) maintain environment
2) adaptive stress response
3) growth and development
4) reproduction
5) red blood cell production
6) integrate nervous systems to regulate circualtion and digestion

, Answer water soluable often pepetide or amine hormones
6. two types of amine hormones
Answer catecholamines and thyroid hormones
7. what secretes peptide hormones
Answer same machinery that makes proteins, synthesized in the ER
8. lipophilic hormones types
Answer soluable in lipids not water; amine thyroid hormones and steroid hormones
9. how are lipohillic hormones synthesized
Answer from cholesterol
10. what organ makes cortisol
Answer adrenal cortex
11. Are lipophillic hormones stored?
