Which of the followings is the more scientific definition of hormone?
1 They are extracellular messengers.
2 They always act at distantly located target organ.
3 They are the products of well organized endocrine glands.
4 They are non-nutrient chemicals that act as intercellular messengers.
Explanation:
(d) Hormones are chemical messengers of the body that transfers information from one set of cells to another.

Which of the following statements is correct in relation to the endocrine system?
1 Organs in the body like gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidney and liver do not produce any hormones.
2 Non-nutrient chemicals produced by the body in trace amount that act as intercellular messenger are known as hormones.
3 Releasing and inhibitory hormones are produced by the pituitary gland .
4 Adenohypophysis is under direct neural regulation of the hypothalamus.
Explanation:
(b) Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals which act as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts.
Gastrointestinal tracts secretes four major peptide hormones - gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) while juxtaglomerular cells of kidney secretes erythropoietin, a peptide hormone. Releasing and inhibitory hormones are produced by hypothalamus. Neurohypophysis or posterior pituitary is under direct neural regulation of the hypothalamus.

Which of the following statements does not hold true for the hormones?
1 They act on target organs away from the source glands
2 They are secreted directly into the blood
3 They are used again and again like catalysts
4 They are produced in very minute quantities and are biologically very active
Explanation:
(c) Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands directly into the blood. They are not used again and again like catalyst.
