Preprohormones – contain one or more copies of a peptide hormone, a signaling sequence that directs the protein into the lumen of
the rough ER and other peptide sequences that may or may not have biological activity. (pg. 202)
Ch.7 Introduction to the Endocrine System LSN 15-16 BME 3430C
LO 7.5 Compare the location of hormone receptors and the cellular mechanisms of action of peptide and steroid hormones.
Group 4: Loren Phillips, Alexandria Sergo, Daniel Drumm
Because of nongenomic effects of steroid hormones, the functional differences between steroid and peptide hormones seem almost
to have disappeared.

LO 7.6 Compare the three main groups of amine hormones.
Group 5: Jocelyn Garcia, Jerry Labady, Christopher Millamena
Tyrosine: is the parent amino acid for catecholamines and thyroid hormones.

LO 7.7 Describe the role of the nervous system in endocrine reflexes.
Group 6: Moriah Irizarry, Brooke Da Silva, Santiago Rubio
Notes:
Endocrine Reflexes & The Nervous System In complex endocrine reflexes, hormones
1. Overlap in structure and function act as negative feedback signals
o Structure: The brain (CNS) includes two CNS- Central Nervous System
endocrine structures: (1) pineal gland (2)
pituitary gland
o CNS acts as an integrating center.
o Function: CNS receives the stimulus and
the endocrine system controls the
response
o Example: Both endocrine cells and the
CNS can act as an integrating center
2. CNS influences the release of hormone through
efferent neurons
3. The nervous system release three major
neurohormones:
o (1) catecholamines are secreted by
modified neurons in the adrenal
medulla
o (2) hypothalamic hormone secreted by
posterior pituitary
o (3) hypothalamic controls hormone
release in the anterior pituitary
4. Hormone secretion and function influenced by
emotions ☹
o Stress can affect the immune system
