Term 1 of 6
Describe the major functions of the endocrine system.
Controls body activities by releasing mediators (hormones)
* Lipid-Soluble hormones bind to transport proteins to be carried in blood.
* Water-Soluble hormones circulate in plasma in a free, unattached form.
*Lipid-Soluble Hormones: (include steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, and nitric acid)
*Water-Soluble Hormones: (include amine hormones, peptide and protein hormones, and
eicosanoid hormones)
secretes hormones into interstitial fluid and then the blood.
Term 2 of 6
Compare and contrast how the nervous and endocrine systems control body functions.
*Lipid-Soluble Hormones: (include steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, and nitric acid)

Controls body activities by releasing mediators (hormones)
Compare
* They act together to coordinate functions of all body systems.
Contrast
* Nervous system: acts through nerve impulses (action potentials) conducting along axons
of neurons.
*Endocrine system: controls body activities by releasing mediators called hormones.
