Progesterone

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 can be increased through synthetic hormones. When there is a greater amount of hormones in our system they can accumulate in the gingival tissue because the gingiva has receptors for these hormones. Therefore, hormonal levels can cause…

definitive diagnosis and how will the tumor be classified? a. Diagnostic Tests: Susan will go through many tests to determine the stage of her cancer. Some of the tests she will undergo include axillary lymph node status, tumor size, estrogen and progesterone receptor status, cell-proliferative indices, and genomic assays. Lymph node status determines if the cancer has spread, if it has spread the risk of recurrence is greater. Tumor size tests the size of the tumor. The larger the tumor is the…

While implantation occurs, blastocyst is being concerted into gastrula, in which three germ layers from and embryonic membranes develop. The beginning is when the inner cell mass differs into two layers which are the epiblast and the hypoblast. Both of these cells form four embryonic membranes which are the amnion, the yolk sac, allantois, the umbilical cord, and the chorion. The amnion provides a buoyant environment which protects the embryo from physical trauma and helps maintain a constant…

Age is a primary cause for knee and hip replacement surgeries. As we get older, our joints naturally become more susceptible to breakdowns in cartilage and a loss of bone density. Osteoarthritis, sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease is an abnormal medical condition that causes deterioration, pain, swelling or stiffness of bones and joints. Although osteoarthritis affects all age groups, the condition is seen most often in the older population. This could be for various reasons.…

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…

Mirena is a type of intrauterine device. It is extremely effective for preventing pregnancy. Many women use Mirena because it is more convenient than having to take a birth control pill everyday. Mirena can prevent pregnancy for up to five years. Mirena has been linked to many side effects. Thousands of women have reported the negative side effects that they have experienced to the Food And Drug Administration. Clinical trials have shown that Mirena can cause infection, irregular periods,…

Ovaries are pair of small glands similar to almonds, and located in the lateral and superior parts of the uterus. They produce hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and ova, "eggs", or gametes. In fertility lifetime, every month during ovulation, a mature egg is released and travels from the ovary to the fallopian tube, where it might be fertilized before reaching the uterus. Uterus is a hollow muscular organ; it is pear-shaped in posterior and superior to the bladder. The uterus or womb is…

Life Span Reflection: Menopause Physical development changes drastically throughout your lifetime. Examples of physical development that individuals may/will experience are puberty, obesity, improving motor skills, and many others. The topic I am going to discuss is menopause, which occurs only in women in late adulthood. To summaries, menopause is the period within a woman’s life where the ability to produce offspring’s ends and the ceasing of menstruation occurs; menopause occurs in woman…

Systems Relationship Assignment 1. Muscular System and Skeletal System The muscular system is dependent on the skeletal system to provide blood cells to the muscles. The blood cells contain oxygen which is converted into ATP during cellular respiration. The ATP is needed to perform daily tasks like walking. The skeletal system supports the striated muscle which allows movement to occur. The striated muscle connects the bone and muscle together. The skeletal system relies on the muscular system…

Adrenal medulla:- The adrenal medulla produces the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine under stimulation by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Both of these hormones help to increase the flow of blood to the brain and muscles to improve the “fight-or-flight” response to stress. These hormones also work to increase heart rate, breathing rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure while decreasing the flow of blood to and function of organs that are not involved in…
