The hormones are then secreted from the glands into the blood stream, where they are transported throughout the body. Unlike plant hormones, animal hormones are often (though not always) produced in specialized hormone-synthesizing glands (shown below). The information below was adapted from OpenStax Biology 37.5
Recognize instances of negative feedback loops, positive feedback loops, and crosstalk in the example hormone pathways.Describe the hormone pathway in given examples, including blood glucose, metamorphosis, and stress and make predictions on how an animal would respond to given stimuli for each case.Recall the functions of selected hormones produced by select major glands, including the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the thyroid, and the adrenal glands.Identify the major glands and body structures involved in hormone synthesis in vertebrates, including the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the thyroid, and the adrenal glands.
