Endocrine disruptor

Albouy-Llaty et al (2016), and Florian et al (2016). Inoue-Choi et al (2016) were worried about whether or not the concentration of atrazine in public water supplies affects the risk of getting ovarian cancer in females. Because atrazine is an endocrine disruptor and ovaries are very hormone sensitive, they believed that atrazine may have an impact on the chance of contracting ovarian cancer (Inoue-Choi et al, 2016). Also, Florian et al (2016) noted that exposure to atrazine is highly correlated…

surface. The Endocrine System is the chemical communication system between cells. Special glands secrete chemicals which travel throughout our body and bind to complimentary receptors (Barnes, 2014). These chemicals, or hormones, are responsible for regulating growth, behavior and many more aspects of our bodies and behavior. In recent times scientists have recognized toxic chemical substances, which mimic the behavior of our natural hormones. These substances have been recognized as endocrine…

Epoprostenol • Definition of epoprostenol (Flolan). - Epoprostenol belongs to some hormones which present in the body naturally called prostaglandins. - It is derived from arachidonic acid .

The pituitary gland is a small jelly bean shaped gland situated at the base of your brain, behind your nose and between your ears. While this is here it is…

Hormones operate using a type of mechanism. Releasing these hormones can trigger actions in particular target cells. One receptor on the cell membrane binds to one type of hormone. The binding hormones change the shape of the receptor, which causes the response to the hormone. Through the process of steroid hormone action, the hormone goes through a certain process of two steps. The hormone binds to receptors on the nuclear membrane once it is inside the cell that produces an…

Addison’s disease is also known as Primary adrenal insufficiency. It is a long-term endocrine disorder happens in the adrenal glands. There are two adrenal glands, they are located on the top of each kidney. The adrenal gland has 2 part: the inner part is the medulla, the outer part is the cortex. The medulla secrets the catecholamines and cortex secret aldosteron, cortisol and androgen. Aldosteron regulate the potassium and sodium level by increasing sodium and water reabsorption in the…

SHORT ANSWER: Using the “Journey of the Sperm” illustration, 1) In the space below, correctly label each structure; 2) In the space below, describe the function of each structure (2.5 pts each) 1. Penile glans: The penile glans is the outermost tip of the penis and is very sensitive to physical stimulation. The glans consists of 4,000 nerves that allow it to be exceptionally sensitive. The female counterpart to the penile glans is the clitoris glans. 2. Vas deferens: The vas deferens allows for…

Five hormones regulate tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion. Angiotensin II has three main methods affecting on renal physiology. First, it decreases GFR by causing vasoconstriction of the afferent arterioles. Second, it enhances reabsorption of Na+, CL-, and water in the proximal convoluted tubule by stimulating the activity of Na+/H+ antiporters. Last, it stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone, a hormone that in turn stimulates principal cells in the collecting ducts to…

apparatus, they send substances to the golgi apparatus, which then package and send them to other areas of the cell. Smooth E.R. also produce and metabolizes lipids, as well as producing steroid hormones, especially in the adrenal cortex and the endocrine glands. Smooth E.R. also play a large role in detoxifying organic chemicals, especially in the liver, converting them into substances that are soluble in water. Smooth E.R. also have the interesting ability to double their surface area in case…
