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)

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

In this essay I will compare and contrast the influence of hereditary and hormones reflection on human behavior. First I will talk about genetics‚ also referred to as heredity. Then I will speak on hormones. Also in this essay I will discuss the endocrine system‚ identification of hormones and the glands responsible for secreting them‚ and genetics‚ behavior genetics‚ and evolutionary psychology. Hereditary To compare heredity effect on behavior you have to start with the old question

The endocrine system The endocrine system is a collection of ductless glands which are positioned through the whole body. The endocrine glands pass their secretions of hormones directly into the blood stream so that they are always adjacent to blood vessels. Hormones are chemicals in the body produced and secreted in the body that regulate the function of a particular tissue or organ (Bing dictionary). These chemical messengers transfer information from one set of cells to another. Despite many
