Endocrine System

Hormone

• circulate in the bloodstream and control the actions of certain cells or organs

• gland that makes substances such as sweat, tears, saliva, milk, and digestive juices, and releases them through a duct or opening to a body surface

• tissue that makes and releases hormones that travel in the bloodstream and control the actions of other cells or organ

• the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids such as blood or the ion concentration in the blood

Neural Stimuli

• a hormone that is released by the glands of the endocrine system

• the release of a hormone in response to another hormone

• the situation in which a hormone cannot exert its full effects without the presence of another hormone

• when two or more hormones combine to produce effects greater than the sum of their individual effects

• a pair of hormones that have the opposite effects
