______ are chemical messengers secreted by glands. Exocrine glands, such as sweat glands, secrete fluids through ducts. _______
rusak2 [61]

Answers:

Hormones are chemical messengers....

Endocrine glands secrete hormones...

The pituitary gland plays...

is produced by the adrenal glands...

the gland will produce fewer amounts of the hormone...

produce chemicals called paracrine factors...

blood is called the thyroid.

Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol, while nonsteroid hormones are synthesized from modified amino acids and small peptides. Non-steroid hormones are not lipid-soluble and therefore they need to bind to a receptor on a cell membrane; while steroid hormones can diffuse through the cell membrane.

Explanation:

Hormones are signaling molecules synthesized by glands. The endocrine glands include the adrenal glands, pineal gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, pituitary gland, ovaries, testes, pancreas and hypothalamus. The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that secretes hormones capable of stimulating the adrenal glands in order to produce steroid hormones. Hormone levels are often modulated by negative feedback, by which high-hormone levels reduce their own production. Paracrine factors (also known as growth and differentiation factors) are proteins that can diffuse across small distances in order to induce responses in neighboring cells. The thyroid gland secretes hormones involved in regulating metabolism and growth. Moreover, the thyroid gland also secretes calcitonin that regulates calcium levels in the blood.
