QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ Endocrine System.
Answer: The system of glands that secrete hormones directly into
the bloodstream.
◉ Hormones.
Answer: Chemical messengers produced by glands that regulate
various bodily functions.
◉ Hormonal Functions.
Answer: The specific roles that hormones play in regulating
physiological processes.
◉ Hormonal Stimuli.
Answer: Factors that trigger the release of hormones from glands.
◉ Target Tissues.
Answer: Specific tissues or organs that respond to particular
hormones.
,◉ Local Chemical Messengers.
Answer: Substances that act on nearby cells to elicit a response.

Answer: The ways in which different hormones influence each
other's actions.
◉ Hormonal Response to Stress.
Answer: The physiological changes that occur in response to stress,
mediated by hormones.
