    1. The three main patterns of hormone secretion are humoral, hormonal, and neural. These hormone secretions are responsible for managing different hormones. Below is a description of each stimulus. • The humoral stimuli are responsible for managing the changes of the blood levels with non-hormone chemicals. For example, if the body was experiencing high levels of glucose, the humoral stimuli would trigger a hormone release from the pancreas known as insulin. Insulin’s job would be to bring the…

There is not much data on the impact that these synthetic hormones have on plants growth rate in pea plants. In order to understand the impacts of synthetic auxin an experiment was conducted using natural auxin, naphthaleneacetic acid, and…

    Mandy Roberson Endocrine System The endocrine system has to do with the hormones of the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel throughout the bloodstream to other tissues. These hormones are secreted by endocrine glands throughout the body. Hormones help with the functions of certain organs and glands and help with digestion, muscle contraction, sex hormones for reproduction, sleep, and much more. They can really dictate how chemicals in the body react. The major function of the…

    Some of these glands produce up to 2 secretions (Hormones) but mostly each gland will have the task of producing one. These glands are ductless, which is why they secrete directly into the blood. This is a list of the glands which are a part of this system; Pineal, Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal…

    Hormone is a biological process that involves signaling molecules. These hormones “are secreted into extracellular fluid, which circulate in the blood or hemolymph of animals. This communicates regulatory messages throughout the body” (Reese 993). There are many things that may trigger a hormone to trigger different responses within the human body. This includes intracellular proteins and receptors. First, intracellular proteins act with intracellular receptors. “Intracellular receptors for…

    The production of each hormone is kept balanced by the feedback mechanism between the individual gland (the thyroid, for example), the hypothalamus, and the pituitary gland. If a gland overproduces or underproduces a hormone, the master glands register this from the amount of hormone in the bloodstream. The master glands then respond by regulating the hormonal production. The system works with great precisior; despite the fact tat the hormones are transported in the bloodstream and are…

    exhibit sex differences. For example, a higher proportion of somatotrope cells respond to growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) in males than in females (71). It is possible that something similar may be happening with the gonadotrope population due to expression of ICAM5. Also, cell networks can be regulated by hormonal mechanisms because gonadectomy alters the responsiveness of cells to GHRH, including hormone release and cell motility (71, 72). In gonadotropes, GnRH treatment leads to an…
