Document Summary

Receptor-hormone complex binds to a part of dna (gene) and becomes a trigger for transcription of this gene/region. Testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, cortisol (stress can affect reproductive system) Paracrine - hormone diffuses from cell to nearby target cell. Autocrine - hormone secreted from cell and acts back upon its own receptors to affect itself. Exocrine - hormones into duct/tubule eg. pancreas (digestive enzymes into the gut). Male - anterior p - lh - leading cells - testosterone - anterior p. (male+female). Pos = uterine contractions. posterior p - oxytocin - myometrium of uterus - contraction - post p. Leads to big event which causes cecation of the cycle. Hyp (gnrh), pituitary (lh+fsh = gonadotrophins), other glands (ovary - estradiol+progesterone and testis - testosterone+inhibin), target tissues/organs/cells.
