Explain the classification of hormones.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Hormones are classified according to the distance over which they act as, endocrine, paracrine and autocrine hormones.
Endocrine hormones act on cells distant from the site of their release. ExampJe: insulin and epinephrine are synthesized and released in the bloodstream by specialized ductless endocrine glands.
Paracrine hormones (alternatively, local mediators) act only on cells close to the cell that released them. For example, interleukin-I (IL-1) Autocrine hormones act on the same cell that released them. For example, protein growth factor interleukin-2 (IL-2).
