Hormone (ADH) – Causes kidneys to reduce water excretion; in high concentrations‚ raises blood pressure. Oxytocin (OT) – Contracts muscles in uterine wall and those associated with milk-secreting glands. Thyroid Gland – In front of trachea below larynx. Thyroxine (T ) – Increases rate of energy release from carbohydrates; increases rate of protein synthesis; accelerates growth; stimulates activity in the nervous system. Triiodothyronine (T ) – Same as above‚ but five times more potent than thyroxine

The most important organ for breathing is Lung. There are two lungs in our body. The average size of the lungs is 11 in. All adult humans lungs are about the same size‚ but larger than a kid’s lungs because the adult body is bigger than a kid. The normal lungs have an average weight of 234g (s+/-39). The average pair of human lungs can hold about 5 litres of air. Approximately‚ human breath 24480 times in a day. The lungs are in the front of the chest and are locate beside the heart but heart is

The thyroid gland consists of two lateral masses‚ connected by a cross bridge‚ that are attached to the trachea. They are slightly inferior to the larynx. The parathyroid glands are four masses of tissue‚ two embedded posterior in each lateral mass of the thyroid gland. One adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney. The cortex is the outer layer of the adrenal gland. The medulla is the inner core

Ventilation = (Respiratory rate; breaths per minute) x Pulmonary Ventilation Remember that some of the lung air is dead space and does not exchange gases and that only air in the alveoli exchanges gases with the blood. Air in the pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and bronchioles does not exchange gases. The air to the alveoli = tidal volume - dead space. An average human adult at rest has a tidal volume of around 0.5 L and a dead space of around 0.15 liters (~30% of TV). This means that the
