Which is the defining feature of hormones?a. They are only produced in endocrine glands.b. They are secreted into the blood, where they may reach one or moretypes of distant target cells, thereby altering cell function throughoutthe body.
c. They are released only by neurons.d. They are never released by neurons.e. They are secreted into ducts, where they diffuse to another nearbygland or other structure.
What is the main difference between organizing effects and activating effects of hormones?A. Organizing effects are long-lasting, whereas activating effects are temporary.B. Organizing effects alter brain activity, whereas activating effects alter other parts of the body.C. Organizing effects are excitatory, whereas activating effects are inhibitory.D. Organizing effects depend on estrogens, whereas activating effects depend on androgens.
What casuses a cell to be sensative to particular hormone?
A. all cells are exposed to the endocrine signals so they are all sensivtive to it
B.the presense of receptors for that hormone
c. the shorter the distance between the source cell and the target cell, the more sensitive the target cell is to the hormone.
