Hormone

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…

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…

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…

In the article, Hormones: Their Effect on the Oral Cavity, it first talks about the cause of periodontal disease. It says that plaque is the primary factor in the development of periodontal disease along with systemic and local factor. In this article, the author explains how different hormones work in our body and how they can cause periodontal disease. For example, the ovaries produce sex hormones that play a role in the female reproductive system. These sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone…

and release hormones. The neoplastic cells secrete the hormone normally produces by the cells of the gland, but they are not responding to negative feedback which controls mechanisms so hormones re secreted in an inappropriate and excessive manner. Because an endocrine tumor develops from cells that produce hormones, the tumor itself can produce hormones and cause serious illness. 2.) Hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla are, epinephrine or also known as adrenaline. This hormone responds…

Oxytocin is the love hormone that is released by both men and women. Even though oxytocin levels are higher in women, oxytocin effects both genders the same. One problem with oxytocin is that anyone can access this hormone without a prescription. The Food and Drug Administration has not regulated oxytocin so the side and long term effects are not known (Pappas, 2015). Oxytocin helps women with nursing and the birth process. “The hormone causes uterine contractions during labor and helps shrink…

Endocrine System The endocrine system is basically the network of glands that secrete hormones into the blood stream which regulates activities of cells or organs. The sexual development and function of the body and the metabolism are two examples of what the endocrine systems does. The major contributors to the endocrine system include the pituitary gland, thyroid, hypothalamus, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pineal body, reproductive glands, and the pancreas. The pituitary gland is…

specific researchers attempt to uncover what physiologically can lead to or even prevent colon cancer, other studies have a different approach in which they work to cure someone who already has the disease. With this approach, a study researched hormone replacement therapy in relation to survival in women diagnosed with colon cancer. While researchers attack this disease in many different ways, they are all simultaneously attempting to gain a better understanding of colon…

The hormone I chose to research is called Serotonin. It was first discovered by Vittorio Erspamer in Rome in 1935. American scientists then verified all of the findings in the late 1940’s. In 1948, Serotonin was named and isolated by Maurice M. Rapport, Arda Green, and Irvine Page. Serotonin is produced in the Pineal gland in the brain and also in the intestines. Majority of the body’s Serotonin is found, and has a key role, in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This hormone is also found in…

that theory. The emotional systems of men are timed with biological reproduction abilities and driven by hormones or the lack of them hormones such as Testosterone, Vasopressin and Estrogen. Gender behavior patterns that are instilled in men such as not showing emotion such as through crying and through doing boy orientated activities challenge doing gender in the face of overriding hormones. Testosterone plays a major role in the wellbeing of men throughout their lifetime and biological…
