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…

elevated cortisol level is unknown, but it may be involved with loss of bone density in anorexia nervosa(Lo Sauro et al., 2008). Alterations in growth hormone are also present in anorexia nervosa. Levels are more often elevated, but levels of insulin like growth factor (IGF-1) are decreased, indicative of growth hormone resistance. Antidiuretic hormone levels may also be low in anorexia nervosa which may rarely result…

Mandy Roberson Endocrine System The endocrine system has to do with the hormones of the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel throughout the bloodstream to other tissues. These hormones are secreted by endocrine glands throughout the body. Hormones help with the functions of certain organs and glands and help with digestion, muscle contraction, sex hormones for reproduction, sleep, and much more. They can really dictate how chemicals in the body react. The major function of the…

triiodothyronine, T3, T4 is a hormone from the thyroid gland that increases metabolic rates. So this hormone is…

Bullfrog Dissection Background The American bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus, is an amphibian about the size of a teacup.(National Geographic, “American Bullfrog”). This dissection explored the anatomy of a bullfrog that had been pithed. Pithing is a technique used to prevent the frog from experiencing any cruel or unusual pain during the dissection. A pithed frog has had its nervous tissue in its brain severed thus allowing it to maintain normal bodily function during the dissection without…

an array of hormones once it receives signals from the hypothalamus. These hormones are responsible for regulating the activities of the other glands, such as prolactin, which is involved in milk production, adrenocorticotropic hormone which responds to stress through a stimulation of the epinephrine, hormone responsible for the stimulation of thyroid, as well as the luteinizing hormone, which regulates ovulation timing and promotes sperm and egg development, follicle-stimulating hormone and sex…

If there are any abnormalities to the natural release of the hormones within the human body that could negatively influence the human body in a variety of aspects at different stages of their life.

classic symptoms related to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most prevalent autoimmune thyroid gland and is a major cause of hypothyroidism in women ages 30-50 years. At present it is thought that Hashimoto’s disease is provoked in genetically susceptible individuals by both environmental and endogenous triggers. Genetic predisposition to development of the autoimmune thyroid diseases was established on the basis of the epidemiologic studies indicating increased prevalence…
