The Horrible Hormones I live on a small farm at the top of a mountain. At the bottom of the long gravel driveway is a two story tan house with a red door and shutters. Behind the house is the barn.

If you walk past the barn to the wood line you will find a small hutch with a handful of pigs. Just past the pigs

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

Gonadal sex hormones are produced by gonadotropins (FSH- Follicle Stimulating Hormone and LH- Luteinizing hormone) from the anterior pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. They stimulate male and female gonads to produce hormones of their own. FSH and LH secretion is controlled by GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)‚ which is a releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. The sex of an embryo is determined at fertilization‚ but secondary sex characteristics develop at puberty. Testosterone

More recently‚ it has become clear that receptors for vitamin D are present in a wide variety of cells‚ and that this hormone has biologic effects which extend far beyond control of mineral metabolism. Vitamin D is thus not a true vitamin‚ as it can be synthesized
