Define: Hormone
A hormone is a chemical signal secreted into blood to serve as communication.
Define: endocrine glands
ductless glands which secrete hormones directly into interstitial fluid and bloodstream.
Define: Tropic Hormone
A tropic hormone is one which has another endocrine gland as a target.
Explain negative feedback
negative feedback begins with a receptor detecting a stimulus. Then, the control center checks the set point. Then, an effector cell responds to any imbalance in the body which deviates from the set point. This causes an efferent signal to give off the needed hormone.

What is the difference between water and lipid soluble hormones?
Water soluble hormone reception occurs on cell membrane and uses signal transduction pathways. The particle does not go into the cell, but causes protein secretion in the cell to cascade events on the inside.

Lipid soluble hormone reception occurs on the inside of the target cell's nucleus. It causes the events to occur directly.
