Endocrine system

relating to the endocrine system. As described the endocrine system is a series of glands that work throughout the body to help you function properly. To become an endocrinologist is a long process taking up to 10 years of education. They then have the ability to treat and diagnose a hormone imbalance or problem in the endocrine organs such as thyroid, pituitary, testes, ovaries, pancreas, and adrenals. Some conditions treated by an endocrinologist include cancers of the endocrine system, cholesterol

individuals, endocrine changes result in a decline in endocrine function involving the responsiveness of tissues as well as reduced hormone secretion from peripheral glands. With salubrious ageing there are changes in endocrine systems, including oestrogen, testosterone, magnification hormone/insulin-like magnification factor-I axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-cortisol axis and dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulphate. In evaluating the changes that occur in endocrine function

Introduction This research task will be focusing on the synthetic substance “Anabolic Steroids” .The aim of the research task is to understand what effect the substance has on us humans and especially on the reproductive system in our bodies. Gym and Body building is becoming more of a fashion than anything else and can be referred to as the “modern drug” and just like when drug addicts have been using the same drug for a long period of time and don’t get the same feeling they move on to a stronger

Maintenance of stability requires control systems capable of detecting any deviation from the usual and making the necessary adjustments to return it to its normal condition. The internal environment can by controlled by hormones. Hormones are chemical substances secreted into bloodstream by glands of the endocrine system. In humans, more than a dozen tissues and organs produce hormones.

pituitary gland tumor (can be benign or cancerous and is the most common), an ectopic tumor that secretes ACTH, an adrenal adenoma (benign) and adrenal carcinomas (cancerous). In very few rare cases people can inherit a predisposition to developing endocrine tumors (Toft 2016). The second type of Cushing’s

is a major organ of the endocrine system. The anterior pituitary, is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis) (Oxford University Press, 2015). Some of the hormones that are secreted are growth hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic

2/9/2017 Research Paper Mrs. Steak MA/64 The hypothalamus gland is the control center of the endocrine system and directs the pituitary gland to secrete certain hormones. Hormones have a variety of effects on the body. The pituitary gland stimulates the thyroid gland to produce certain hormones. The thyroid gland plays a vital role producing those hormones that have a direct impact on the Endocrine System. The thyroid gland produces two hormones; triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Triiodothyronine

study of the functional systems of the human body describing how various systems work and interact with each anatomical structure. Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationship between body parts. In the human body there are 10 functional systems which are: Nervous system (Ns)- The nervous system is divided into two parts : The central nervous system, (CNS) which involves the brain and spinal cord; and the peripheral system which connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body

an almond shaped part of the brain that is quite intriguing as it has many different types of jobs that help us function in our everyday life. Do not let the size of the Hypothalamus fool you as it plays a huge part in our body’s internal balance system. In this paper I would like to talk about a few different topics on the hypothalamus. I would like to talk about the location of the hypothalamus, what the hypothalamus’s responsibilities are, how the hypothalamus sends and receives messages and

The presence of pesticides in fruits, vegetables, cereals, in other food items and even in breast milk is a matter of grave concern (Munshi et al. 2001; FAO/WHO 2005; Damgaard et al. 2006; Koirala et al. 2007; Shen et al. 2008; Cok et al. 2011). There are many other studies which depict the presence of pesticide as residues in food materials above the established maximum residue limits (MRLs) (Bajpai et al. 2007; Devanathan et al. 2009; Srivastava et al. 2011). Out of 267 vegetable samples collected
