Summary Introduction
To determine:
The relationship among the hypothalamus, pituitary and other endocrine glands.
Concept introduction:
A hormone is chemical messenger, produced by gland, carried by the blood, which alter the activity of one or more specific target organs. A target cell is the cell upon which a hormone exerts its action; generally, a cell with appropriate receptors for a hormone.
