A hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, especially in conditions of stress, increasing rates of blood circulation, and breathing	500 What types of hormones bind to extracellular receptors? What types of hormones bind to intracellular receptors? Intracellular: peptide & amino acid derivatives Extracellular: lipid derivatives	500 Explain how a negative feedback loop works A stimulus causes the creation of a product which then negates the stimulus.	500 What disorder is characterized by oversecretion of cortisol, usually caused by a pituitary tumor?
