Endocrine system

As we know endocrine and nervous system work together. The way they work together is through communications. This systems consists on glands which secrets special hormones and these hormone goes around in the body as messenger. The organs who carry these type of hormones in the body are blood stream, organs and body tissues. The way they are connected is via brain which connect with two communication systems and the hypothalamus is tiny collection of Nellie which controls behaviour placed at the…

Autoimmunity and the Endocrine System Chad Martin Nursing 631 Grand Canyon University December 12, 2015 Introduction The immune system in the human body is protection. Protection not only from infectious disease processes and foreign bodies but from ourselves. The immune system is great to have when working well, however, there can be unintended and serious consequences when the system fails and initiates inappropriate responses to our bodies own cells. Autoimmunity specifically is the…

#2 Describe in detail the structure and function of any of the following: the nervous system, the brain, the endocrine system. Include charts with you description if you desire. Simple moments, decisions or reactions all have one thing in common, the brain. The brain is the control center for human’s entire body, giving signals at all times on what to do or how to respond. Nerves that connect your body to the brain are responsible for gather information to give to the spinal cord to give to…

– a small region of the brain that is a major link between the nervous and endocrine system. The hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system and regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, fear, rage, and sexual behavior. The hypothalamus control feeling such as pain, stress, and emotional experiences. (1) 2 Pituitary gland – the “master endocrine gland” because it secretes many hormones that control other endocrine glands. It is a “pea-shaped structure that attaches to the hypothalamus…

The most affected system is the nervous system. It is the nervous system because when you receive a concussion your brain is pushed up against your skull. The brain transports messages to other parts of your body and since your brain is injured you are most likely to have trouble reacting to things and may not feel as much pain as you usually would. Two important parts of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, are located in or near the brain. Traumatic brain injures…

The Endocrine System is considered to be an integrative system because the hormones which are produced by this system act at the distance, many of those substances act in the different organs. The endocrine system and nervous system work together to coordinate functions of all systems in human body, they are responsible for maintaining the internal environment, nearly all physiological processes are affected by the hormones. They regulate almost all body function starting from metabolism, grow…

cardiovascular, respiratory, sensory and endocrine systems play important roles in the functioning of the human body. The cardiovascular system involves the heart, blood and blood vessels, the respiratory system involves organs and structures, which allow the body to breath, the sensory system allows the body to receive external and internal information while the endocrine system involves the glands and secretes hormones throughout the body. The 4 systems to be discussed all work together to…

Hypothyroidism The thyroid is a gland found in the neck. As a part of the endocrine system, it is located below the Adam's apple. The purpose of the thyroid gland is to produce different hormones which are a key part in the proper function of the brain, heart, and liver. The thyroid also helps in maintaining a healthy metabolism. According to the American Thyroid Association, more than 20 million Americans have some sort of thyroid disorder. Close to sixty percent of those diagnosed were…

Introduction The kidney has an important role in the body. It regulates water and salt volume, and plasma pH of the body. The body helps maintain the balance of salt and water in the blood. This is done by three processes which are glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. The balancing of the pH is also as important for the human body. If the pH is well maintained and balance, it shows that the kidney is working properly in the body. Following…

Endocrinology is the study of the endocrine system. An endocrinologist monitors the release of hormones into the bloodstream and how it affects other organs. People who require an endocrinologist normally have a type of thyroid disease or a hormone imbalance caused by a number of other diseases. An endocrinologist must be able to identify and create an action plan for any number of diseases. The job of an endocrinologist is to study the endocrine and the exocrine systems. Their responsibility is…
