Study Notes

Introduction to the Endocrine System

Hormones can be:
* Steroid hormones: Made from cholesterol (e.g., testosterone, estrogen, cortisol). They can easily pass through cell membranes to act inside cells.
* Non-steroid hormones: Made from amino acids (e.g., insulin, growth hormone). They usually bind to receptors on the cell surface, triggering a response inside the cell.
