Describe and give an example of each of the 3 classes of hormomes.

Gasotransmitters - NO
Monoamines - Serotonin

Source? The 3 mentioned in the 2011 Division C Manual are steroids (+eicosanoids), (poly)peptides/proteins, and monoamines.

EDIT: I wouldn't classify most neurotransmitters as hormones (exceptions like epinephrine and norepinephrine exist). Note that I was asking about hormones.

What precursor polypeptide is ACTH or corticotropin derived from?

[bhavjain]

Anyone? You can always Google it if you don't know

[Cherrie_Lan]

Uh, is it corticotropin-releasing hormone? I hope Google isn't wrong
