Hormones and the Endocrine System 26.1 Chemical and electrical signals coordinate body functions The Endocrine System is a group of interacting glands and tissues throughout the animal body that produce and secrete chemical to initiate and maintain body functions and activities. Chemical Signals -Hormones - are released into the bloodstream by endocrine cells and carried to all locations in the body Consists of all hormone secreting cells Works with the nervous system in regulating body activities

Topic 6: Mammalian Pheromones Abstract A pheromone is a chemical signal which is released by one animal and received by another‚ which induce a species specific reaction. Pheromones are detected via chemosensory systems known as the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO). Within a wide range of mammals the VNO is used to elicit a generalized sexual response‚ primarily affecting the reproductive tract. This is seen in most terrestrial mammals who have adapted to sensing volatile chemical signals; the Mouse displays

4. The cell’s supply of ADP‚ Pi‚ and NAD+ is finite (limited). What happens to cellular respiration when all of the cell’s NAD+ has been converted to NADH? If NAD is unavailable‚ the cell is unable to conduct any processes that involve the conversion of NAD+ to NADH. Because both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle produce NADH‚ both of these processes shut down when there is no available NAD+. 5. If the Krebs cycle does not require oxygen‚ why does cellular respiration stop after glycolysis when

Are You a Good or Bad Student? Being a good student is what everyone wants to believe they are. But in reality we all know that there are bad students. I‚ myself would like to believe I am a good student but when I looked over the facts it seems that I am not a bad or a good student. The first and foremost important quality of a good student is‚ of course‚ hard working. We can’t have a good result in academic success without training and effort. The next quality is active in community. A good student

This week we explore a number of important concepts in Chapter 5 concerning energy and how reactions are facilitated in cells. In this conference please provide a brief description of one of the following topics: What is energy? The capacity to cause change‚ or to move matter in a direction it would not move if left alone. A child pushing a ball‚ the energy is transferred from the muscle of the child to the ball forcing the ball to move. What is kinetic energy? The energy of motion‚ moving
