It secretes various hormones one example is the GH – growth hormone. Observed at labpaq web site (pituitary Anterior lobe) Basophils‚ Acidophils and Chromophobes where observed. Thyroid gland: is a butterfly shaped gland‚ located in front of the trachea ‚ secreting hormones T3 triiodothyronine and T4 thyroxine. Observed at the labpaq website and noted in

discovered that the RP (which they named BP1) occurred before ‘W’ in two thirds of participants and the LRP always occurred after ‘W’.

How neurological processes affect behaviour and impact the field of biological psychology Psychology as a field of study has evolved from the human need to understand ourselves and the causes behind our behaviours. Philosophy tried its hand first‚ attempting to describe it as a complex interaction between the mind and the body – between the mental and the physical. This basic idea resonates through this field of exploration through the years. While there have been diversions from this line of

Quiz‚ Chapter 39 1. Three uses of diuretics include treatment of hypertension‚ mobilization of edematous fluid‚ and used to prevent renal failure. 2. Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid of the adrenal cortex; it stimulates reabsorption of sodium from the distal cortex. 3. Most diuretics share the same basic mechanism of action: they block sodium and chloride reabsorption. The greatest diuresis is produced by those drugs whose site of action is early in the nephron. 4. Adverse

NEUROLOGY INTRODUCTION: Nervous System- the body’s communication network - coordinates and organizes 3 Division: 1. CNS- central nervous system - made up of the brain and the spinal cord 2. PNS- peripheral nervous system - includes nerves that connect the CNS to the remote body parts - relays and receives messages 3. ANS- autonomic nervous system - regulates the involuntary function

cilia — hair-like attachments — that project into the nasal cavity. On the other end of the cell‚ are olfactory nerve fibers‚ which pass through the ethmoid bone and into the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb is directly attached to the cerebral cortex of your brain. As you breathe‚ anything that is in the air that you take in enters your nasal cavity: hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ dust‚ pollen‚ chemicals. You don’t “smell” air or dust or pollen‚ but you can smell chemicals. The olfactory cells are

Endocrine System Chapter 13 Study Guide Name ( ) Revision 2 OVERVIEW The endocrine system‚ like the nervous system‚ controls body activities to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. The methods used by these two systems are different. This chapter describes the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands‚ the location of the endocrine glands‚ and the hormones they secrete (objectives 1 and 6). It explains the nature of hormones‚ the substances that function as hormones

non-musicians. They found that musicians have greater gray matter in Broca’s area in the left inferior frontal gyrus compared to that of non-musicians. In addition‚ significant age-related volume reductions in cerebral hemispheres‚ dorsolateral prefrontal cortex subfields bilaterally and gray matter density in the left inferior frontal gyrus were observed in non-musicians but not musicians. It was concluded that playing an instrument could promote generation and retention of functionally relevant cortical

are candidates to explain multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) (Chapter 550). There are several distinctive heritable forms of MPHD. Mutations of transcription factor genes that are only expressed in the anterior pituitary lead to simple phenotypes with varying combinations of anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies. Mutations of transcription factor genes that are also expressed in other embryonic tissues give rise to more complex phenotypes that include multiple congenital anomalies. |
