Excess hormone can overstimulate target tissues and disturb homeostasis. The exact effect depends on the hormone, receptor distribution, and feedback control.

Cnidarians have simple nervous systems and chemical communication. They lack vertebrate endocrine glands but still coordinate feeding, movement, and reproduction.

Erythrocytes carry respiratory pigments such as hemoglobin for oxygen transport. A low count reduces oxygen delivery to tissues.

Innate immunity responds quickly to general patterns of infection or injury. It is less specific than adaptive immunity but essential for immediate defense.

Endocrine axes often involve hypothalamus, pituitary, and a target gland. The final hormone provides feedback to regulate further secretion.

Platelets help form clots by adhering at injury sites and triggering coagulation. This prevents excessive blood loss.

Vaccines expose the immune system to antigens safely, leading to memory cells. Future exposure produces faster and stronger responses.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Because hormones circulate, they can reach multiple tissues. Only cells with matching receptors respond, allowing broad but selective coordination.

Target-cell specificity is central to endocrine function. Hormone molecules can circulate widely, but only receptor-bearing cells respond.

Phagocytosis is the engulfment and digestion of particles or microbes by immune cells. It is an important nonspecific defense mechanism.
