Respuesta :
Endocrine glands secrete water-soluble hormones and lipid-soluble hormones that bind to target cells.
The above statement correctly describes the relationship among endocrine glands, target cells, water-soluble hormones, and lipid-soluble hormones.
What does the endocrine system do and how does it work?
Your endocrine system continuously monitors the amount of hormones in your blood. Hormones deliver their messages by locking into the cells they target so they can relay the message.
The pituitary gland senses when your hormone levels rise, and tells other glands to stop producing and releasing hormones. When hormone levels dip below a certain point, the pituitary gland can instruct other glands to produce and release more.
This process, called homeostasis, works similarly to the thermostat in your house. Hormones affect nearly every process in your body, including:
- Metabolism (the way you break down food and get energy from nutrients).
- Growth and development.
- Emotions and mood.
- Fertility and sexual function.
- Sleep.
- Blood pressure.
Sometimes glands produce too much or not enough of a hormone. This imbalance can cause health problems, such as weight gain, high blood pressure and changes in sleep, mood and behaviour. Many things can affect how your body creates and releases hormones. Illness, stress and certain medications can cause a hormone imbalance.
