" hormone is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behavior. hormones have diverse chemical structures, mainly of 3 classes: eicosanoids, steroids, and amino acid derivatives."  Hope this helps-

Explanation:

Hormones are the chemical messengers that coordinate complex processes like fertility, growth and metabolism by traveling throughout the body. Hormones are secreted directly into the blood by the glands, in reaction to the signals received from the brain. All cells in the bloodstream are exposed to the hormones,but only a hormone's target cell reacts, which have receptors for that hormone. Hormone disrupting chemicals can act at any point along this pathway. Some of them are mimic, which sends a false signal by binding the receptor that is not commanded by the brain.

How does the structure of each type of neuron relate to its function in the nervous system?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Motor neurons:

A. Function:

It relay messages coming from the brain or spinal cord to the muscles or organs.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long axons due to long distances the signals have to travel to the muscle its stimulating.

●It's myelinated, to assist the signal in travelling long distances as soon as possible.

Sensory neurons:

A. Function: its sensory receptors respond to stimuli by converting it into an electrical signal to the brain or spinal cord.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long dendrites / axons

● its myelinated

●since it's found in the middle of the neuron it forms ganglia that unites in the spinal cord and aid in involuntary reflexes.

Interneurons:

Structure:

● shorter than motor or sensory neurons

● has branches, a lot of branches consisting of axons and dendrites off the cell body to enable multiple simultaneous between neurons

● It's body is partially myelinated.

●occurs in large clusters of neurons to compensate for its partial myelination to speed up the signal
