    The document discusses cell communication through the endocrine system. It notes that the endocrine system coordinates and controls the body through hormones, which can be either steroid hormones that are lipid soluble and move freely through cell membranes, or non-steroid hormones that are water soluble and cannot. Positive feedback is described as moving the body further from its setpoint, like childbirth stimulating more oxytocin release, while negative feedback moves the body closer to its setpoint, such as regulating blood sugar levels.

    Cell Communication
    Summary #4

    2.C.1: a-c, 2.D.3: a (dehydration), 3.D.1: d, 3.D.2: c1, 3.D.4: a


    The endocrine system functions to coordinate and control the body through the use of
    hormones. Those hormones consist of two types. One is a steroid hormone and the other is nonsteroid. Steroid hormones are lipid soluble, thus they can move through the phospholipid
    bilateral freely. Non-steroid hormones are water soluble and cannot do this. Positive feedback is
    where the body moves further away from the setpoint. An example of this is child birth and the
    release of oxytocin. Negative feedback is where the body moves closer to the set point. An
    example of this would be blood sugar resolution.
