This chapter describes the glands involved in the hormone regulation process. Glands such as hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal and their functions are discussed in this chapter.
Practice Other Topics from Chemical Coordination and Integration
The topic gives a brief introduction and definition about the endocrine glands and hormones. Endocrine glands lack ducts and are hence, called ductless glands. Their secretions are called hormones.
Biology>Human Physiology>Chemical Coordination and Integration>Hormones of Heart, Kidney and GI Tract
In this topic, we will study the hormones of heart, kidney and GI tract with the study of ANF CCK and GIP. It also briefs the erythropoietin and growth factors.
The topic discusses the mechanism of hormone action. Hormones produce their effects on target tissues by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only.
