1. Analyze the three major categories of hormones, discuss how each are regulated, and
provide examples of each
Hormones in the Endocrine system can be divided into three major categories basing on
their chemical structure: peptide (protein and peptide) hormones, amino acid-derived, and lipidderived (Marieb & Smith., 2016). Lipid-derived hormones slightly differ from peptide hormones
and amino-acid-derived hormones since they can diffuse across plasma membranes.
1. Lipid-derived Hormones
The organs in the endocrine system must coordinate to achieve the maintenance of
homeostasis within the body. Cell to cell communication and cell to tissue communication across
distant body parts is a process that requires the release of chemical hormones. After release, the
chemical hormones are transported by blood, the major body fluid, to their target cells. A signal
cell sends signals to the signal or ligand receptors in the target cell, the chemical hormones then
trigger a response. The endocrine system is made up of the organs, tissues, and cells secreting
lipid-derived hormones. Endocrine system glands include the thyroid gland producing thyroid
hormones that regulate the rate of metabolism, and the adrenal glands producing norepinephrine
and epinephrine regulating the response to stress.
2. Amino Acid-Derived Hormones
The amino acid-derived hormones can be characterized as comparatively small molecules
generated from tryptophan and tyrosine amino acids. Norepinephrine and epinephrine are
examples of amino acid-derived hormones and are produced by the thyroid glands. The brain
contains a pineal gland that generates and dis...
