What to Focus On

  • Exocrine glands are ducted glands.
  • Endocrine glands are ductless glands.
  • Hormones are chemical messengers.
  • Hormones control and coordinate body activities.
  • Hormones regulate growth and maturation.
  • Hormones help in reproduction.
  • Both systems coordinate body activities.
  • Endocrine messages are chemical and travel through blood.
  • Nervous messages travel along nerves.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The pituitary gland is the true master gland of the body.

TSH, ACTH, FSH, and LH are all the same type of hormone as prolactin.

LH means the same thing in males and females, so ICSH can be used for both sexes without distinction.
