Carbohydrates, also known as  saccharides , are classified according to the number of single carbohydrate molecules in each chemical structure. Carbohydrate compounds having just one carbohydrate molecule are called  monosaccharides ; compounds with two carbohydrate molecules are called  dissarcharides ; and those compounds containing more than two carbohydrate molecules are named  polysaccharides . All carbohydrates either are monosaccharides or can be hydrolyzed (broken down) into two or more monosaccharides.

Homeostasis - maintains body's internal environment within a set of normal parameters Intrinsic regulation - cell/tissue/organ adjusts itself to environmental change Extrinsic regulation - nervous or endocrine systems adjust cell/tissue/organ to environmental change and coordinate other systems, requires long distance communication Nervous system - rapid, short-term, specific effect, limited targets; gap or synaptic Endocrine system - slower, long-term, broad effect, more targets; chemical messengers Exocrine glands - glandular cells secrete products into ducts Endocrine glands - glandular cells secrete products into ECF around gland Neuroendocrine - secreted by neuron endings into ECF Hormones Chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands which are usually carried in the circulatory system ...

When blood vessels are cut or damaged, the loss of blood from the system must be stopped before shock and possible death occur. This is accomplished by solidification of the blood, a process called coagulation or clotting. A blood clot consists of a plug of platelets enmeshed in a network of insoluble fibrin molecules. Platelet aggregation and fibrin formation both require the proteolytic enzyme thrombin . Clotting also requires: calcium ions (Ca 2+ )(which is why blood banks use a chelating agent to bind the calcium in donated blood so the blood will not clot in the bag). about a dozen other protein clotting factors . Most of these circulate in the blood as inactive precursors. They are activated by proteolytic cleavage becoming, in turn, active proteases for other factors in the system. By tradition, these factors are designated by Roman numerals. I find this somewhat confusing and will use Arabic numerals instead. Initiating the Clotting Process Damaged cells display a...

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body. They are defined as organic substances secreted into blood stream to control the metabolic and biological activities. These hormones are involved in transmission of information from one tissue to another and from cell to cell. These substances are produced in small amounts by various endocrine (ductless) glands in the body. They are delivered directly to the blood in minute quantities and are carried by the blood to various target organs where these exert physiological effect and control metabolic activities. Thus frequently their site of action is away from their origin. Hormonesare required in trace amounts and are highly specific in their functions. The deficiency of any hormones leads to a particular disease, which can be cured by administration of that hormone. Classification of Hormones Hormones are classified on the basis of (i) their structure (ii) their site of activity in the cell. Steroids on which the above classification is...
