Their receptor sites are located inside their target cells because their non-polarity makes it simple for them to diffuse inside the cell membrane. By affixing themselves to proteins that bind to them, they enter the bloodstream. Steroids and eicosanoids are two examples.

Lipid-soluble hormones- Nuclear receptors are contacted by these hormones. The nucleus of the cell contains nuclear receptors, though they can also be found in the cytoplasm and move to the nucleus when activated.

Water-soluble hormones- The membrane-bound receptors are where these hormones bind. The term "membrane-bound receptors" refers to protein molecules that have extended across the plasma membrane and have their hormone-binding sites visible on the plasma membrane's outer surface.

Testosterone is a hormone that exists in both humans and other animals. In men, testosterone is predominantly produced in the testicles. Testosterone is frequently linked to sex drive and is essential for the synthesis of sperm. It has an impact on red blood cell synthesis, bone and muscle mass, and fat storage.

The adrenal glands, which are endocrine glands located on top of the kidneys, create and produce the steroid hormone cortisol. The body's response to stress is one of the many components of the human body that cortisol regulates.

Hormones that are water-soluble are amines and proteins that actively pass through the cell membrane. The target cell membrane's extracellular surface is where the receptors for each type of water-soluble hormone are expressed.

It is referred to as the "master gland," controls and regulates a number of bodily functions, including: Growth and sexual/reproductive development and function. Secretes major hormones: divided into two, (1) posterior pituitary hormones (2) anterior pituitary hormones; connected to the base of the brain just inferior to the hypothalamus. Target tissues allow the hormones released by endocrine cells to enter the circulation.

By producing and releasing hormones, the endocrine system aids in the regulation and maintenance of numerous bodily functions. It is made up of glands that are dispersed throughout the body and produce substances called hormones into the blood which stimulate various tissues.

The Thymus is responsible for producing maturing lymphocytes or immune cells. This include T cells, a type of white blood cells that protect the body from infections. The Thymus also releases hormones that inhibit aging process.

is an important sex hormone produced by the ovaries in females and testes in males. This hormone neuroendocrine, skeletal, adipose, and cardiovascular systems. It regulates the growth, development, and physiology of the human reproductive system.

Produces and stores eggs called ovum and makes hormones that control menstrual cycle and pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum breaks down, the production of progesterone falls and a new menstrual cycle begins.

When a mother nurses or breastfeeds, the pituitary gland secretes prolactin in response to nerve signals from the nipple when the infant feeds. The prolactin will then prompt the mammary glands to produce milk. As the child continues to feed, the positive feedback loop will also continue. Release of prolactin stops when nursing of the child stops.

Regulation of blood glucose levels - After eating, a person’s blood glucose level is increased because of the absorption of sugars in the digestive tract. This will stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas with aims to lower the blood’s sugar levels by helping it enter into cells to be converted or used as energy.

is a hormone that the pituitary gland secretes into the blood after being created in the hypothalamus. Its primary purpose is to make childbirth easier. The uterine muscles are stimulated to contract by oxytocin, and prostaglandin synthesis is also stimulated, leading to increased uterine contractions.

Also called vasopressin. It binds to membrane-bound receptors and stimulates the kidneys to release less water, resulting in less urine production. It also causes blood vessels to constrict, resulting in an increase in the blood pressure.

One of the hormones necessary for pubertal development as well as the operation of women's ovaries and men's testicles. Follicle stimulating hormone operates on the Sertoli cells of the testes in males to stimulate sperm production. In women, it stimulates the formation of ovarian follicles in the ovary prior to the release of an egg from one follicle at ovulation.
