Lipid Soluble Hormone
Water Soluble Hormone
Lipid vs. Water-Soluble Hormones
Crash Course: Great Glands
"Know II": Describe the antagonistic relationships between the following hormone pairs glucagon and insulin, PTH and calcitonin. Explain where they are produced, where they are stored, the target organs, and the mechanism for how the hormones interact with target cells. Be sure to include how negative feedback is involved and the relationship of these hormones to homeostasis in the blood.
