1. | Is a steroid hormone and generates second messengers |
2. | Cannot cross lipid bilayer as it is a water-soluble hormone |
3. | Is an iodothyronine |
4. | Cannot cross the cell membrane as it is a lipid-soluble hormone |
1. | ACTH is a steroid hormone |
2. | PTH can enter the nucleus of bone cells whereas ACTH cannot |
3. | The membranes of bone cells contain receptors different from those in adrenocortical cells |
4. | Bone releases a protein that inhibits the action of ACTH |
1. | GnRH receptors on ovary are not functioning |
2. | Lack of receptors for GnRH on pituitary |
3. | Lack of production of LH from hypothalamus |
4. | Ovary is not able to respond to the stimulatory effect of LH |
1. | Adenohypophysis is under direct neural regulation of the hypothalamus |
2. | Organs in the body like a gastro-intestinal tract, heart, kidney, and liver do not produce any hormones |
3. | Non-nutrient chemicals produced by the body in trace amount that act as an inter-cellular messenger are known as hormones |
4. | Releasing and inhibitory hormones are produced by the pituitary gland |
