a. What are the two main mechanisms for how hormones interact with cells? b. What types of hormones use each mechanism? What hormone is secreted by extra-embryonic tissue to maintain pregnancy? What hormone is produced by the "G" cells of the stomach?
Either the Leydig cells respond to very small changes in LH, or the testicular endothelial cells in some way mediate the response of the Leydig cells to LH, for which there is now some evidence from co-cultures of endothelial and Leydig cells. The lipophilic steroid hormones, such as ...
Some hormones may have autocrine or paracrine functions when produced at a site different from where exert their primary function. For example, TSH is released by the anterior pituitary to stimulate the thyroid gland; gut hormone peptides (glucagon, OXM) act on intestinal epithelial cells; growth ...

these cells. This causes the receptor cell to release a message-amplifying molecule it was holding called cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP rapidly spreads the signal throughout the cell, and this causes the symptoms of an adrenaline rush, depending on which cells it has been activated...
Cell communication is a process that allows cells to share information; this communication can be direct, where one cell communicates with another cell in contact with it, or indirect, where one cell communicates with another cell that is not in direct contact. ...
Most cells, however, have evolved to respond to chemical signals, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and many other types of signaling molecules. Cells can even coordinate different responses elicited by the same signaling molecule. Typically, cell signaling involves three steps: (...
Spermatazoa are the male gamete,meaning they are the cells that fuse with the egg in fertilization giving rise to the embrion and future baby.
Radioactive iodine is given to damage or kill some thyroid gland cells. This may decrease the amount of thyroid hormone produced. Tell your healthcare provider if you know or think you are pregnant. This medicine can be harmful to an unborn baby. Surgery may be done to remove all or part...
