●● What specifically is the endocrine system responsible for (8)?
Answer: 1. Water balance
2. Ion regulation
3. Growth and metabolism
4. Heart rate and blood pressure
5. Blood glucose regulation
6. Reproductive functions
7. Uterine contractions during labor
8. Milk and release post labor
●● How does the endocrine system exert control (2)?
Answer: 1. Various types of signaling
2. Chemical ligands
●● What are the 3 categories of endocrine signaling?
Answer: 1. Long distance signaling
2. Local signaling
, 3. Signaling that overlaps with nervous system components to transport
ligands to cells
●● What are the 5 types of signaling?
Answer: endocrine, paracrine, autocrine, synaptic, neuroendocrine
●● endocrine signaling
Answer: Form of long-distance signaling where ligands are released and
travel through blood to reach a target cell, which could be anywhere is
the body.
●● What does endocrine signaling play a role in?
Answer: Regulatory processes such as maintaining blood pressure, blood
volume, and energy metabolism
Regulatory mechanisms such as growth, sexual maturation, and
reproduction.
●● paracrine signaling
Answer: Form of local signaling where ligands are released near target
tissues and move by diffusion. NOT transported through blood.
●● autocrine signaling
