NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Non-steroid Hormones A non-steroid hormone is made of amino acids. It is not fat soluble, so it cannot diffuse across the plasma membrane of a target cell. Instead, it binds to a receptor protein on the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell. The binding of a non-steroid hormone activates a second messenger that affects processes within the target cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nonsteroid hormones bind to receptors in a target cell and cause the release of secondary messengers that affect cell activities. 1. A nonsteroid hormone binds to receptors on the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hormones can be thought of as chemical messages. From the blood stream, the hormones communicate with the body by heading towards their target cell to bring about a particular change or effect to that cell. The hormone can also create changes in the cells of surrounding tissues (paracrine effect).
