secretion to the surface. Endocrine glands lose their contact with the surface because they have no ducts. Both glands secrete products in a liquid solution. Endocrine have a high density of blood capillaries and secrete their products directly into the blood. Endocrine produce hormones which diffuses directly into the circulatory system. Whereas exocrine produces enzymes which are secretes directly to a specific area. Exocrine glands are easier to categorize than endocrine glands although they are

The pancreas is a dual-function gland‚ having features of both endocrine and exocrine glands. The part of the pancreas with endocrine function is made up of approximately a million[3] cell clusters called islets of Langerhans. Four main cell types exist in the islets. They are relatively difficult to distinguish using standard staining techniques‚ but they can be classified by their secretion: α cells secrete glucagon (increase glucose in blood)‚ β cells secrete insulin (decrease glucose in blood)

Mechanisms of homeostasis in human body Temperature Regulation: If your body too hot or cold‚ there are several ways in which your temperature can be controlled. They involve sweating‚ shivering‚ capillaries and hairs. As we learn in the class when your body becomes; Too

An endocrinologist treat people who have hormonal problems that is particularly from the glands in the endocrine system. The most common conditions that an endocrinologist treats would be menopause‚ diabetes‚ thyroid diseases‚ metabolic disorders‚ lack of growth‚ over-or under-production of hormones‚ osteoporosis‚ cancers of the endocrine glands‚ cholesterol disorders‚ hypertension‚ and infertility. They do a variety of research to find more improved ways to treat abnormal hormonal imbalances. To

Biology Assignment 5 Question 1 The pancreas is a large gland‚ situated in the peritoneal cavity‚ in the curve of the duodenum. It is the pancreas that is responsible for aiding the body’s endocrine system. (Darlington College 2011). The pancreas releases two endocrine hormones and it is these hormones that ensure the blood glucose levels within the body are constantly controlled. These hormones are glucagon and insulin and they are secreted from tiny clusters of cells within the pancreas‚ know

The main systems of the human body are the nervous‚ endocrine respiratory‚ circulatory‚ immune‚ digestive‚ excretory‚ skeletal‚ muscular‚ and the reproductive systems. They all work together in harmony and unison to keep us alive. The nervous and endocrine systems are what control most of the body. The nervous system includes the brain‚ spinal‚ cord and nerves. The endocrine system consists of various hormonal glands such as the pituitary. These two systems

and spinal nerves. The endocrine system: The endocrine system is made up of endocrine glands which are ductless glands‚ they are named this way because the secretions they make do not leave the glands through ducts‚ and instead they pass into the blood circulating through the substance of the glands. The endocrine glands in the body are the pineal‚ pituitary‚ thyroid‚ parathyroid‚ adrenal‚ parts of the pancreas and parts of the ovaries and testes. Some of the endocrine glands produce one hormone
