How do hormones send messages?

Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream. They travel through the body and bind to specific receptors on target cells, triggering a response. This can influence processes such as growth and development, metabolism, and stress response.


What name is given to the process of RBC production?

Erythropoiesis is the production of red blood cells.


Why doesn't every cell in the body respond to every hormone circulating in the?

Because specific cell has specific receptors for ech kind of hormone in animals, though plants donot follow same rule. Still cells are specifically responding due to other biochaemical reasons like presence of IAA oxidase degrading auxin fail to iduce the root growth. SEcondly depends on cell ability to recycle receptors or metabolisation


What hormones are secreted by the hypothalamus?

There are 7 different hormones released from the hypothalamus. They all are regulatory hormones that act on the anterior pituitary with the exception of prolactin inhibitory hormone. Most of them have a positive influence on the anterior pituitary, but there is also a negative influence on the growth hormone release.The 7 different hormones released are:GHRH (Growth hormone releasing hormone) - counteracted by another hormone released from the hypothalamus called Somatostatin, which blocks hormone release. (+)Growth hormone release inhibitory hormone - Somatostatin (-)CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) - acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate corticoid metabolism (+)TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) - act on target cells within the pituitary gland (+)Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - acts on target cells within the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid hormone production. (+)Prolactin inhibitory hormone - Dopamine(-)PRH (Prolactin releasing hormone) (+)

What name is given to regions that are receptive to hormones?

Target tissues or target cells are regions that are receptive to hormones. These tissues have specific receptors that bind with the hormones and trigger a response within the cell.

What name is given to the process in which cells respond to over - stimulation by becoming less sensitive to the stimulus?

Desensitization is the name given to this process where cells, such as nerve cells or hormone receptors, become less responsive to a particular stimulus due to prolonged or excessive exposure. This downregulation helps maintain cellular balance and prevent overstimulation.


Are interstitial cells endocrine?

Yes, interstitial cells are endocrine cells found in the testes that produce and secrete hormones like testosterone. These cells play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male reproductive functions.

Region of the chromatin that binds a given hormone?

The region of the chromatin that binds a given hormone is typically the hormone response element (HRE). HREs are specific DNA sequences that are recognized and bound by hormone receptors. When a hormone binds to its HRE, it can activate or repress gene expression, leading to specific cellular changes or responses.
