Document Summary
No synapse; vehicle is blood; hormone released affects own activity. Hormone that acts on distal tissues (long distance); vehicle is blood. No synapse; vehicle is blood; hormone affects nearby target cells. Chemical released by one neuron to act on other. Chemicals secreted into bloodstream; carried to target tissues. Effect between bodies; urine marking/menstrual syncing into hypothalamic pituitary portal. Circulate apg endocrine cells to stimulate release of tropic hormones. Tropic hormones circulate target tissues to release target hormone letdown; facilitate social bonds released during orgasm) Vasopressin (water conservation in kidney; increases bp) Base of brain below hypothalamus; connected to. Axons from hypothalamic neurosecretory cells hypothalamus via pituitary stalk extend in posterior pituitary. Direct release into blood cells; has hybrid neuron and endocrine cells. Release hormones in bloodstream; located in hypothalamus. Endocrine cells may have once had neural properties but then specialized for their respective purposes. Once hormones released in blood, can circulate broadly and affect target cell.
