BASIC CONCEPTS ENDOCRINE SYSTEM :- In physiology‚ the endocrine system is a system of glands‚ each of which secretes a type of hormone into the bloodstream to regulate the body. It derives from the Greek words endo meaning inside‚ within‚ and crinis for secrete. The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system. Hormones are substances (chemical mediators) released from endocrine tissue into the bloodstream that attach to target tissue and allow communication among

The endocrine is located in different parts of the body and some important endocrine glands include the pancreas‚ testes‚ ovaries‚ thyroid gland‚ adrenal glands and the hypothalamus. The adrenal glands are located near the kidneys

and glands throughout the body produce hormones. As generations progress‚ new psychological and behavioral traits are earned and learned. This paper will explain hormones and the endocrine system‚ glands associated with the endocrine system‚ behavior genetics‚ and evolutionary psychology. The endocrine system is the system of the body in which releases hormones into the bloodstream. The hormones then cause different reactions within the body‚ and these reactions shape part of human behavior. There

The cardiovascular system is the organ system surrounding the heart‚ blood‚ and blood vessels. One of the most important things that help with homeostasis when dealing with hypertension is the negative feedback system. The system works to maintain a constant balance. If there is an issue in the body’s homeostasis‚ the body reacts with the

Renal system The renal system consists of two kidneys‚ two ureters which come out of the kindeys and a single bladder which collects the urine before it goes into the urethra. It also involves the sphincter muscle which is located just below the bladder and its purpose is to control the flow of urine. The kidneys have renal veins which take the blood from the kidneys into the main vein in the body which is known as the vena cava‚ they also have short renal arteries which come out of the main vein

stimulation by releasing hormones from the hypothalamus; called the master endocrine gland; releases 6 hormone products which all function via second messenger systems. Four of the six are hormones that regulate the functioning of other endocrine glands: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)‚ adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)‚ follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)‚ and luteinizing hormone (LH) Remaining two affect non-endocrine targets: growth hormone(GH) and prolactin.

gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin molecules‚ inside the follicle cell.
