What is a long distance chemical signal

• Metabolic activities

• Target cells

• Hormone

What are target cells

• Cells that have a receptor for a particular hormone or other signaling molecule

A major difference between neurotransmitters and hormones is that hormones are secreted

• into ducts

• Into the blood

• Into cerebrospinal fluid

• Directly onto their target cell

Which group of messengers is defined as acting on nearby cells within the same tissue

• Paracrines

• Eicosaniods

• Hormones

• Autocrines

A major determinant of a hormones mechanism of action is

• Whether it is rapid acting or slow activity

• Its size

• Whether the hormone molecule is hydrophobic or hydrophilic

• If it activates gene activity or not
