Document Summary
Prolactin protein hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. Cortisol steroid hormone from the adrenal cortex. Somatostatin peptide hormone from the adrenal glands. Insulin protein hormone from the pancreas: got it right, a) primary criteria required to identify a specific hormone receptor. There must be a finite # of receptor. Binding to the receptor must cause a specific biological action: main factors that contribute to the magnitude of hormone action at the level of the cell. Must bind with specificity and high affinity. Must be a mechanism of signal transduction that"s binding must cause some level of action: criteria to determine if a compound is a second messenger. 2nd messenger must have same action as hormone. Decreased 2nd messenger = decreased action: aging. Affinity increases slope is steeper (based on slope: classes of chemical messengers. Neurotransmitters chemical messengers synthesized/secreted by neurons that act on other neurons.
