Key Points: Chemical Coordination

  • Chemical coordination is the process by which cells and organisms communicate using chemical signals.
  • There are four types of chemical signaling: autocrine, paracrine, endocrine, and pheromones.
  • Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various body functions.
  • Hormones are classified based on their chemical nature into amines, peptide/protein hormones, steroid hormones, fatty acid derivatives, and gases.
  • Examples include epinephrine and thyroxine (amines), insulin and growth hormone (proteins), estrogen and testosterone (steroids), prostaglandins (fatty acids), and nitric oxide (gas).
