Question
Chapter 40.1, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism by which two different effects are produced by a single hormone in the organisms of same species.
Introduction:
Hormones are responsible for regulating the physiological functions in the body. The hormones may either have a local effect or may act on a different area from its place of origin. A single hormone may also act in different ways in the same species. This is probably determined by the kind of response or stimuli the organism receives or its area of action.
