Salivary gland

glucocorticoids, found in the blood, causes the pituitary gland to release more adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACTH. In some cases, parts of this hormone are converted into melanocytes, which initiates production of melanin. This leads to darkening of skin cells in areas, such as 'Palmar creases, flexural areas, sites of friction, recent scars, vermilion border of the lips, and genital skin' (Nieman and Chanco Turner, 2006). Although the adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system, they…

adults Introduction Human Growth Hormone is one of the major hormone found in endocrine system in your body. It is an essential hormone that stimulate the body growth, normal brain function and secreted by the somatotropin cells in anterior pituitary gland. There are a condition of abnormal body grow such as pituitary gigantism and pituitary dwarfism which the body over create grow hormone or doesn’t create enough GH.

Severe acne on the face, chest, and back can cause permanent changes in the skin that we refer to as acne scarring. When pores become clogged with bacteria, oil, and dead skin, it causes inflammation and swelling of the pore. Follicle walls in the skin break because of this swelling. During the repair process, new collagen fibers are formed; however, this process does not return the skin back to its original condition. Once the repair process is complete, it is common to see permanent acne scars…

maintain a normal internal state. More specifically, the hypothalamus helps the brain secrete essential hormones that thus, govern one’s physiological functions, such as the ones mentioned above, by working with the pituitary gland as well as other hormone secreting glands. While people are driving, the hypothalamus makes drivers aware when they are too hot or too cold so that they may regulate the temperature settings in the vehicle. Furthermore, the hypothalamus also warns drivers when they…

An abscess is a pus filled pocket or blister within the skin that may be caused by a number of different reasons such as; a sebaceous gland or sweat gland becomes obstructed, a hair follicle or a group of hair follicles becomes inflamed, or minor breaks and punctures in the skin allow bacteria to invade causing redness, warmth, pain, inflammation, and pus formation. This disturbance of the skin is no stranger to history as there have been documented cases of abscesses from before the Roman era…

(n.d.). Evaporation provides the major defense against overheating. The body’s surface contains approximately 2 million sweat glands. When the hypothalamus senses an increase in core temperature it will act by increasing blood flow to the skin, stimulating the sweat glands. The result is an increase in the rate of water loss through sweating which helps cool down (Vella, S, & Kravitz, n.d.). Physiology of Cardiovascular System Short-term: A physical…

Education can play an important role in addressing any issues of positioning and latching (Pollard, 2011). Jades symptoms got progressively worse and the midwife referred her to the lactation consultant at the hospital. A comprehensive lactation history was obtained and a complete breastfeed was observed, assessing baby 's position, attachment, sucking pattern, and to exclude anomalies such as tongue-tie. This is in accordance with UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative [BFI] and best practice…
