Endocrine gland

Steve Huo Richard Williams Physical Science 11/16/2017 Background Research Chemical kinetics is the research of chemical processes which relates to the mechanisms and rates of chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). The mechanisms describe variations of each molecule during the chemical action such as which bond is broken, which bond together newly, and how the three-dimensional shape of the chemical changes (Sciencebuddies). The rate of the reaction is measuring the speed of the chemical…

spectrum of cultures or genders of initial age of puberty. According to Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2010), “Acting as a catalyst for all of these changes is an increase in the production of hormones. Hormones are chemical substances secreted by the endocrine glands” (p. 279). In general, most girls begin the initial changes experienced with the onset at approximately ten to fourteen years of age, while boys begin at approximately between the ages of twelve and sixteen. These changes can be…

The parasympathetic portion of this nerve is responsible for salivary glands and tear, nasal and palatine glands. In addition, this nerve conveys sensory information from the taste buds of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue (Marieb & Hoehn, 2010). Damage to this nerve may result in the sagging or drooping of facial muscles and a disturbed…

The first receptor I will be doing is the Somatostatin receptor there is so much behind this receptor. Somatostatin (SST), otherwise called somatotropin discharge restraining variable (SRIF), is a hypothalamic hormone, a pancreatic hormone, and a focal and fringe neurotransmitter. Somatostatin has a wide conveyance all through the focal sensory system (CNS) and also in fringe tissues, for instance in the pituitary, pancreas and stomach. The different activities of somatostatin are intervened by…

Primary diseases associated with secondary hypertension include disorders of the renal, endocrine, vascular, neurological disorders; pregnancy-induced hypertension, acute stress and drugs or other substances. Specific diseases or disorders include: renin-producing tumors, renal failure, acromegaly, hyperthyroidism, arteriosclerosis, pregnancy…

Discuss the physical assessment of a patient who presences with the complaint of cervical lymphadenopathy. “Lymphadenopathy is characterized by enlarged lymph nodes. Lymph node enlargement is caused by an increase in size and number of its germinal centers caused by proliferation of lymphocytes and monocytes or invasion by malignant cells. Normally, lymph nodes are not palpable or are barely palpable. Enlarged lymph nodes are characterized by being palpable and often may be tender or painful to…

In my opinion, the human body is one of the most complex mechanisms known to mankind – even more complex than the latest iPhone X. The human body comprises of many different systems: the digestive system, the endocrine system, the exocrine system, the muscular system, the urinary system, the reproductive system, the respiratory system, the circulatory system, the sympathetic system, the skeletal system. The human body consists of about 300 bones at birth and this number decreases to 206 by…

A Dynamic Explanatory Model Centered on the Notion of Tiaoli Kleinman (2006) states “how we perceive, experience, and cope with diseases is based on our explanations of sickness, explanations specific to the social positions we occupy and the system of meaning we employ.” Thus, in this paper, I attempt to understand my interviewee Iris’s explanatory model centering around the concept of tiaoli, that is, a notion of health and wellbeing. tiaoli stands in contradistinction to biomedical…

These individuals are serving our country and risking it to defend an American Dream. Over the years served, they are asked to fight on seas in wars and secret battles for the right to come home. These deployments or trainings can last any given period time in a year. This would cause a change in their personal, family, professional, and any other level that affects daily function to return back to a normal live. One of these biggest issues that an active duty service member, veteran or…

activity or the presence of a new one.(34) Serum CRP has been accepted as an accurate measure for systemic inflammation.(35) In addition to serum CRP, salivary CRP can be used to monitor periodontal disease.(36) CRP may reach saliva via GCF or salivary glands. Recent studies evaluate the level of CRP in saliva and found a significant elevation in patients compare to control…
