|
Endocrine system
|
|
Are the endocrine and nervous systems interrelated?
|
Yes
|
|
Do the endocrine and nervous systems use the same chemical messengers?
|
Yes
|
|
Where do endocrine glands release their secretions?
|
Internally into extracellular spaces around the cells. From there they can enter the blood stream.
|
|
Which type of glands have ducts and which are ductless?

True
|
|
In what arrangement may the secretory cells be?
|
Clumps, cords, vesicles, or scattered throughout a tissue

|
Do endocrines work on near or distant target organs?
|
Distant organs
|
|
What is the definition of a paracrine?
|
A hormone that is released into the extracellular space, rather than general circulation, that will act on neighboring cells
|
|
How do neurocrines work and where are they released from?
|
They are released from neural tissues into synaptic spaces and act directly on neighboring nerve or muscle cells
|
|
A single chemical substance can act as a chemical message in an_________way
|
In an endocrine, neuroendocrine, paracrine or neurocrine way
|
|
Hormone ________a reaction rather than________a reaction
|
