  Functions of hormones

  1. Regulating growth, development, behavior, and reproduction 2. Coordinating the production, use, and storage of energy 3. Maintaining homeostasis 4. Responding to stimuli from outside the body

  Target cell

  A target cell is a specific cell that a hormone binds to and acts on (carries the message to). A hormone recognizes a target cell because the target cell has specific receptors. A hormone binds only to cells that have a particular receptor protein, ignoring all other cells.

  Target organs

  Some of hormones may affect one type of cell, others may affect many cells or tissues. EXAMPLE: Target organs of pituitary (гипофизарный) hormones are the ovaries. Target organ of growth hormone is all the tissues of the body.

  The regulation of hormone secretion

  Feedback mechanisms (механизм обратной связи) play important role in the regulation: NEGATIVE POSITIVE Ex: parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium into the blood affecting bone tissue.

  If blood calcium level increases, the secretion of parathyroid hormone decreases, this is negative feedback. If calcium level decreases, the secretion increases, this is positive feedback. Bone Tissue

  When thyroxine reaches a certain level in the blood, the hypothalamus is stimulated and thyroid stops producing thyroxine hormone.
