HORMONES What type of classification is this hormone?
Answer: Estrogen, Steroid hormone
HORMONES Peptide hormones are synthesized as prohormoes. What is a prohormone?
Answer: inactive molecules that are converted to active hormones either before or after they are secreted.
ORGANS Which organ secretes hormones involved with fluid balance and smooth muscle contractions?
