Steroid Hormones
Effects are long lasting and slow
Synthesized in the Smooth ER and excreted directly into the blood, not stored
Diffuse through plasma members to bind cytoplasmic receptors in cells which cause uptake into the nucleus of the cell
In the nucleus the act as transcription promoters to regulate gene products thus their effects last for a long time
These are hydrophobic so they cannot dissolve in the blood and usually associate with other proteins for their transport mechanism
Peptide Hormones and Amino Acid Derivatives
Short Lasting effects and quick
Synthesized in the Smooth ER and packed and stored until needed
Bind surface cell receptors on cells
Use a second messenger system such as CAMP to active cascades which multiple the effectiveness of the hormone
Their effects are short lives
They are also hydrophilic so they can dissolve in the blood
*Exception to the rule - Thyroid Hormone (Thoraxin) Modified AA derivative can bind cytoplasmicly
Now you just gota remember which ones come from where lol.
Any more questions just ask away if not, have a good one!
