Steriod Hormones

Ok well we had a couple weeks off from lecture class...
when we came back this week we talked about steriod hormones....
I really remember the estrogen hormone...cause well duh, I am a girl....lol
Estrogens diffuse easily across the cell membranes and when they are inside the cell body the interact with estrogen receptors.
Sex Hormones consist of androgens, estrogens & progestagens.
Corticosteriods consist of glucocorticiods and mineralcoritoids. Gluco controls metabolism & immune functions. Mineral controls blood volume.
Anabolic steriods increase bone and muscle synthesis.
steriod hormones are basically transported in the blood.
I will add more later....
