Can anyone tell me the essential points about hormones?

Question

I have a biology test tomorrow on hormones,

Can anyone tell me what the important terms or areas i need to study about hormones are? So far I've got:

- Target cells

- Cell signalling

- Endocrine glands (endocrine system)

- Different types of hormones and what they do

- From which gland each hormone comes from..

- Second messengers

- Lipophobic - Lipophilic

Have i missed anything?

Answer 1

Hi  =]

You have a good list so far but I suggest you include this:

- Cell metabolism

- Chemical transport and transport in general

- Interactions with receptors

- The effects of hormones which is (what they do) =)

Oh and the important hormones that are essential for humans =)

I hope this helps and good luck with your test tomorrow !!

People on the opposite side of the world can't possibly know what parts of hormone-biology your tomorrow's test includes, nor how specifically you're supposed to know things. It's a stupid question.
