Endocrine system Endocrinology is the study of chemical communication systems that provide the means to control a huge number of physiologic processes. Like other communication networks‚ endocrine systems contain transmitters‚ signals and receivers that are called‚ respectively‚ hormone producing cells‚ hormones and receptors. The first step in understanding endocrinology is to explore the meaning of such terms as hormone‚ receptor and target cell‚ and to obtain an understanding of how chemical

The endocrine system works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system secretes hormones in the human body‚ which are produced in endocrine glands and are released into the bloodstream to travel to the its specific target cell‚ tissue‚ or organ. Exocrine glands produce chemicals that are discharged into the surroundings. Hormones can either produce short-lived responses or long-term responses. An example of a short-lived response is when adrenaline (epinephrine)causes the

Endocrine Case Histories - Case 28 A 21-year-old noncompliant male with a history of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was found in a coma. His blood glucose was high‚ as well as his urine glucose‚ urine ketones‚ and serum ketones. His serum bicarbonate was <12 mEq/L. His respiration was exaggerated and his breath had an acetone odor. His blood pressure was 90/60 and his pulse weak and rapid (120). ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form 1. Define noncompliant

Lab 4: Endocrine System Physiology | 1. | | Refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates. How did the baseline metabolic rates of the three rats differ? Answer: | The metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized and hypophysectomized rats were lower than that of the normal rat. | | | 2. | | Why did the metabolic rates differ? Check all that apply: Answers: | The hypophysectomized rat lacked thyroid-stimulating hormone. The thyroidectomized rat lacked thyroxine hormone. |

eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic. All eukaryotic cells‚ whether from animals‚ plants‚ protists‚ and fungi‚ are fundamentally similar to one another but different from prokaryotic cell. A eukaryotic cell contains various other organelles‚ which perform specific functions in the cell. These organelles can be organized into few basic functional groups such as genetic control‚ distribution and breakdown‚ and energy processing. The nucleus and ribosomes carry out genetic control of the cells. Nucleus

Leakage channels‚ also called passive channels‚ allow the movement of potassium (and sodium) across the membrane. Due to the electrochemical gradient‚ (2) ___________________ (ion) diffuses out of the cell. Because of this and because proteins that are large‚ non-diffusible anions are more abundant in the cell than outside it‚ the fluid on the inside adjacent to the plasma membrane is – (3) negatively / positively (circle or highlight one) – charged compared to the fluid on the outside immediately adjacent

Sakariye .M Biology 5/27/2014 ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS AND HOW THEY AFFECT EVERYTHING “Our Stolen Future” by Theo Colborn is about the health and environmental threats created by man-made chemical contaminants that interfere with hormones in humans and wildlife. In this paper i’ll explain what is an endocrine system‚ what are endocrine disruptors‚ and how endocrine disruptors affect humans. The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands. The
