Pituitary gland

By taking Lasix, it is categorized as diuretic. The medication works by elevating the amount of water and salt in the blood which removes by the kidney. The adrenals are two small glands which sits on the top of the kidneys secrete important hormone, aldosterone. Aldosterone regulates the water level, but the water is extremely lost by taking Lasik; therefore, it cannot help body to recover hydrate. Lasik caused the decrease in blood volume causing dehydration. The blood pressure is affected due…

and non-endocrine target organs by binding to the cell surface or intracellular receptors. According to Carolyn Johnstone (2014), hormone production and release are controlled by the nervous system and by hormonal feedback mechanisms. The endocrine glands produce hormones or chemical messengers that are secreted into the interstitial fluid, diffuse into blood capillaries
and are transmitted via the circulatory system to target organs. The receptors of those target organs are molecules containing…

antibodies by the immune system arouse the thyroid to produce too much T4. Hyperthyroidism can be caused due to many conditions likes grave’s disease an autoimmune disorder, producing antibodies to excite thyroid gland to produce excess hormone, and causing inflammation of thyroid Gland. Drug induced, excess intake of iodine…

Jack and Kate are both assigned a worksheet with two-hundred math problems. Jack goes into a green room, and Kate goes into an orange room. By the time Jack finishes his problems, Kate has been done for twenty minutes and it was because of the color of the room. Most people take fashion and room design into consideration when painting a room. They should be considering entirely different things that will inevitably come into play. One color can make someone think with more creativity, another…

endometrial glands relative to the stroma, resulting in increased gland to stroma ratio. It is a noninvasive uterine wall proliferation but patients with endometrial hyperplasia have an increased risk of developing endometrial cancer. Endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterine wall and is composed of a outer functional layer and a inner basal layer. The endometrium is lined by ciliated columnar epithelial cells and its lamina propria contains simple tubular types of endometrial glands.…

like reproductions or our emotions. These hormones are produced in the adrenal glands, which is located at the top of each kidney. The adrenal glands has an outer part known as the cortex and an inner part known as the medulla. Adrenal glands produce epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, that is created during the time of stress that in response will raise blood flow and pulse rate. The outside of the adrenal glands, known as the cortex creates two critical hormones, aldosterone, and cortisol.…

The thyroid gland is responsible for production of two hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) (1). This patient is presenting with this array of symptoms as a result of a severe form of hypothyroidism called myxedema coma (2). Thyroid hormone affects many tissues in the body, and is responsible for body functions such as metabolism of fat, protein and glucose for energy and heat production (1). Thus, it can be concluded that the patient is experiencing constipation, hypothermia and…

respiratory system is liable for performing two actions. First, it is responsible for transferring oxygen to the blood and exhaling waste gasses like Carbon Dioxide from the lungs. It is also responsible for cooling the cat, as cats do not have sweat glands (except on their feet).…

being able to constantly maintain a relatively stable is my take on homeostasis. Your ph balance, concentration of glucose, and the concentration of ions in your blood stream are all factors of homeostasis. Homeostasis levels dropping to low or raising to high could result in serious illness. There are many factors to maintaining a good homeostasis. Your biological system based on your genetic make-up are constantly changing and fluctuating at various levels. For example doing strenuous…

used his “disease” to create a great career for himself. To explain what happened to Andre let’s go more into depth of what gigantism is. For the average human growth hormones are released into the bloodstream from the pituitary gland. For someone with gigantism the pituitary gland over produces growth hormones. This causes them to grow noticeably taller at a younger ages. A child with gigantism may also experience excessive sweating, sleeping…
