How does cortisol work?
It increases the salt in the bloodstream, enhances liver's use of the salt, and slows down heart rate.
It increases your heart rate, dilates the small passageways of the lungs, and increases energy supplies.
It increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhances your brain's use of glucose and increases the availability of substances that repair tissues.
The inner part of an adrenal gland, controls hormones that initiate the flight or fight response. This is called:
adrenal follicles
adrenal medulla
adrenal cortex
exocrine
Function of pancreatic islets:
Glucocorticoids promote normal cell metabolism and help the body to resist long-term stressors, primarily by increasing blood glucose levels. When the blood levels are high, fats and even proteins are broken down by body cells and converted to glucose.
Beta cells found in pancreas, secrete insulin - decreasing blood/glucose levels by acceleration of glucose out the blood and into the cells for energy then to the liver to store as glycogen
Catecholamines prepare the body to cope with a brief or short-term stressful situation and cause the alarm stage of the stress response. This can lead to inflammation and makes you more alert.

How do hormones work?
prompting cells to create plasma membranes
stimulate a new activity by providing a protein code
alter a normal cell activity by increasing or decreasing metabolic process
1. change plasma membrane permeability or electrical state
2. synthesis of proteins or certain regulatory molecules (such as enzymes) in cells
3. activation or inactivation of enzymes
4. stimulation of mitosis
This describes:
how hormones are created
the chemistry of hormones
how hormones can change a response
how hormones are released from the endocrine system
a steroidal hormone and thyroid hormone transfer messages to cells by:
diffusing through the plasma membrane of a target cell, entering the nucleus, binding to receptor proteins, binding to specific sites on cell's DNA, activating certain genes to transcribe RNA (mRNA), and translating in the cytoplasm, resulting in synthesis of new proteins
binding to receptors situated on target cell's plasma membrane, utilizing second-messenger system, binding to membrane receptor, setting off a series of reactions that activate an enzyme, the enzyme catalyzes a reaction that produces a second messenger molecule, and oversees intracellular changes
nonsteriodal hormones (protein and peptide hormones) work as chemical messengers by:
binding to receptors situated on target cell's plasma membrane, utilizing second-messenger system, binding to membrane receptor, setting off a series of reactions that activate an enzyme, the enzyme catalyzes a reaction that produces a second messenger molecule, and oversees intracellular changes
diffusing through the plasma membrane of a target cell, entering the nucleus, binding to receptor proteins, binding to specific sites on cell's DNA, activating certain genes to transcribe RNA (mRNA), and translating in the cytoplasm, resulting in synthesis of new proteins
which hormone response is this?
steroid
nonsteroid
peptide
protein
