Hormones coordinate responses among many body tissues, which may seem unrelated. However, synchronizing the response in multiple tissues is highly adaptive. A) Give an example of one hormone that regulates different effects in different tissues/organs. B) For the example, mention what those effects are and where they take place. C) For one hormone, explain why it makes sense for to use the same hormone in order to regulate them.

Glucose can be released from the liver and transported to many other tissues where it is taken up and induces a variety of biological effects. Glucose concentrations in animals range between 40 and 150 mg/100 mL. Based on this information, would you consider glucose to be a hormone? Why or why not? One important characteristic that distinguishes hormones from other chemical messengers is that hormones circulate in extracellular fluids in very low concentrations; that is, at concentrations ranging from picograms (1012 g) to nanograms (109 g) per mL of blood. This is much lower than concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and metabolites, which are present in concentrations of micrograms (106 g) and milligrams (103 g) per mL of blood. based on this is glucose a hormone

GnRH, a peptide hormone produced by hypothalamic neurosecretory cells, and a steroid hormone produced by the ovary, each exert effects on LH-producing cells of the anterior pituitary gland. In general terms, compare and contrast how these hormones act to affect LH release by pituitary cells.
