Question
Chapter 45, Problem 45.3CR
Summary Introduction
To explain: The similarity of the endocrine glands that produce ADH and epinephrine.
Introduction:
The adrenal gland is located above the kidneys. Epinephrine is also known as adrenalin that is produced by neurosecretory cells of both adrenal glands. The pituitary gland is located at the brain. The posterior pituitary secretes an antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

1) Gross Anatomy and Basic Function of the Endocrine Glands
a)Both the endocrine and nervous systems are major regulating systems of the body; however, the nervous system has been compared to a text message, and the endocrine system to mailing a letter. Briefly explain this comparison.
b) Chemically, hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups, the___ and the___
c) If hormones travel in the bloodstream, why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?
Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. i) From what you have learned so far in the course, identify two endocrine glands that are considered to be neuroendocrine. Be specific. ii) Describe a situation/example for each, that demonstrates this function.
What general features make a chemical compound a hormone, and how do hormones achieve specificity for certain kinds of target cell?
