function? Name 6 major endocrine glands and explain their functions. Endocrine is made of glands that create and discharge hormones, letting chemical substance keep actives the cells or organs. 1.Adrenal glands: helps to control the blood sugar. 2.Hypothalamus: Is in control of pituitary hormones by liberating others type of hormones. 3.Ovaries: it found in women and have the fiction to produce estrogen and progesterone.Also, is the responsible of women development as heathy menstrual period…

system. The Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Amygdala, the Hippocampus, and the cingulate cortex are the framework for the limbic system. Its location is in the Forebrain and the Midbrain just under the cerebrum. All the structures work in unison to form emotions, motivation, learning, and…

of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. GnRH promotes secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland which in turn stimulate the gonads. This process ultimately leads to the development of secondary sexual characteristics. The starting point for the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is GnRH and its secretion is controlled…

involves a complex negative feedback mechanism; the brain, more specifically, the preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus, contain the control system for these processes…

The Endocrine System controls bodily functions that tend to occur over a long time. Taking a similar role to the nervous system to keep the body in a state of homeostasis. Through the use of a negative feedback loop the Endocrine system insures the proper amount of hormone is in the body at any given time. These hormones serve functions from growth to balancing ion levels in the body. The Endocrine system is specifically down to the hormone meant for homeostasis. The Endocrine System is…

“I’m so stressed” is a widely used phrase, said by many students and professionals alike who have a lot to manage in their busy lives. However, many people do not realize the mental and physical implications of stress. In Chapter 13 of Invitation to Psychology, 5th Ed., by Carol Wade and Carol Tavris, the physiology and psychology of stress is examined, along with various ways to cope with stress in our everyday lives. By understanding the body’s physiological responses of stress, we gain a…

Assignment #3: Reflections 1. Hormones and the brain are powerful influences on human sexual functioning. Perhaps two of the most important portions of the brain in terms of sexual functioning are the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, which make up the HPG axis. The HPG axis consists of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the gonads – gonads being the testes in males and the ovaries in females. Together, the HPG axis regulates sex hormone production in a negative feedback loop. Three…

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 considered the most important part of endocrine system because it controls may of its functions. Some key hormones the pituitary…

example, Leptin levels are normally higher at the hours between midnight and early morning; it is assumed that this is to suppress appetite during sleep. Leptin is believed to enter the brain at the choroid plexus, from where it travels to the hypothalamus to meet the majority of its receptors. Leptin interacts with six types of receptors, however, ObRb is the only receptor that can signal intracellularly and is present in hypothalamic…
