Question

Match each term with the best description. You may use the same answer choice more than once:

type of chemical signaling requiring hormones which are secreted into the blood, lymph, or hemolymph in animals or vascular fluids in plants
type of chemical signaling that occurs across gap junctions, plasmodesmata, or y through cell-to-cell recognition proteins
chemical signals that trigger a social response in members the same species
cells that have receptors for a specific signaling molecule
intracellular signaling molecules released in response to exposure to an extracellular signaling molecule
hormone secreting cells composing ductless glands which secrete hormones into bloodstream
location where ADH and oxytocin are released
cells in the hypothalamus which produce and transport hormones
location where GH,PRL,TSH,MSH,ACTH,FSH, and LH are produced and released
term for a first chemical messenger or signal

A. neurosecretory
B. endocrine
C. anterior pituitar
D. ligand
E. target cells
F. second messenger
G. posterior pituitary
H. long distance
l. local
J. pheromones

Answer 1

The student's question involved matching endocrinology terms with their definitions. The matches include 'long distance' for hormone signaling, 'local' for signaling across gap junctions, 'pheromones' for social chemical signals, 'target cells' for cells with hormone receptors, 'second messenger' for intracellular signaling molecules, 'endocrine' for hormone-secreting cells, 'posterior pituitary' and 'anterior pituitary' for hormone release locations, 'neurosecretory' for hypothalamus cells, and 'ligand' for a first chemical messenger.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to match endocrinology-related terms with their corresponding descriptions. Here are the correct matches using the provided answer choices:

Type of chemical signaling requiring hormones - H. long distance

Type of chemical signaling that occurs across gap junctions - I. local

Chemical signals that trigger a social response - J. pheromones

Cells that have receptors for a specific signaling molecule - E. target cells

Intracellular signaling molecules released in response to an extracellular signaling molecule - F. second messenger

Hormone-secreting cells composing ductless glands - B. endocrine

Location where ADH and oxytocin are released - G. posterior pituitary

Cells in the hypothalamus which produce and transport hormones - A. neurosecretory

Location where GH, PRL, TSH, MSH, ACTH, FSH, and LH are produced and released - C. anterior pituitary

Term for a first chemical messenger or signal - D. ligand
