Boxed in words are pure endocrine organs (cid:0) their sole purpose is to secrete hormones. Amino acid based hormones derived from amino acids. Molecular size varies greatly from amino acids to proteins. Exert signaling effects on target cells upon binding receptors on surface of cells. Only gonadal and adrenocortical hormones are steroids.
