Summary Introduction

To determine:

The major theme among the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological system and evolution, which is evident and related with statement “ a cell can produce and secrete chemicals, such as hormones , that affect gene regulation in another cell”.

Introduction:

Endocrine glands are the part of endocrine system and they releases hormone directly into the interstitial fluids, lymphoid system or blood. Hormone alters the metabolic activities of many different tissue and organ. Some of the hormones involved in the signal transduction pathway to regulate their mechanisms; involves cell signaling in which the transmission of molecular signals from a cell’s exterior to interior. The signal received by cells must be transmitted effectively into the cells to ensure an appropriate response. The step is initiated by cell surface receptor which triggers a biochemical chain of events inside the cells, creation a response.
