of well known environmental contaminants‚ such as dioxin‚ PCBs and DDT‚ can affect hormone levels. Hormones are produced by the endocrine system as regulators of biological function in target organs. Because hormones play a critical role in early development‚ toxicological effects on the endocrine system often have an impact on the reproductive system. The term endocrine disruptor is used to describe chemicals that can mimic hormones and may either enhance or counteract their effects. It has been

Project summary :Event management industry in Pakistan is the most growing industry. The trend of event management is increasing day by day in Pakistan. People are more conscious about their status and they are more interested in celebrating the events in their homes‚ halls or some other places. This project is all about opening up the hall for birthday party celebration with boundless fun and technological amusement. For opening of such a hall‚ there are different activities that are required

Unit 10. Assignment 2. The Endocrine System: Diseases and Age-Related Changes Cushing Syndrome Cushing Syndrome is a condition that presents itself due to the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for secretion of hormones. Cushing syndrome comes about when the body has excess levels of a hormone called cortisol in the body. Cortisol is very important. It plays a role in managing blood pressure and keeps the cardiovascular system functioning normally. Cortisol also aids the body

Positive feedback Positive feedback is a mechanism by which an output is enhanced‚ such as protein levels. However‚ in order to avoid any fluctuation in the protein level‚ the mechanism is inhibited stochastically (I)‚ therefore when the concentration of the activated protein (A) is past the threshold ([I])‚ the loop mechanism is activated and the concentration of A increases exponentially if d[A]=k [A] Positive feedback mechanisms are designed to accelerate or enhance the output created by a stimulus

The Future Loop Jack is a flexible man that has the ability to move all the bones in his body without even practicing yoga. He could survive many years without food. He came from a family of four‚ a sister‚ brother and his parents. They were not very wealthy but had enough for the family to survive. Jack didn’t achieve anything in his childhood other than gold medals in flexibility competitions. One day while Jack was on the way to the market‚ he noticed a big man with a young face. The big man

Alex Polnaszek Fertilizer Composition and Use Fertilizers have helped farmers and the production of food in this country immensely. They have allowed farmers to have a higher yield of food per acre despite some deteriorating soil conditions. There are three main elements in each bag of fertilizer. They are nitrogen‚ phosphorus and potassium and are represented on the outside of the bag in that order. Each of the three elements has a different benefit to the growth of a plant. Plants use

Phase Locked Loop: The phase-lock-loop (PLL) is commonly used in microprocessors to generate a clock at high frequency (Fout=2GHz for example) from an external clock at low frequency (Fref = 100MHz for example). The PLL is also used as a clock recovery circuit to generate a clock signal from a series of bits transmitted in serial without synchronization clock (Figure below). The PLL may also be found in frequency demodulation circuits‚ to transform a frequency varying waveform into a voltage.

set point at a constant. With feedback loops‚ the internal environment of the body can achieve to keep it at the set point. All homeostatic mechanisms use a feedback loop to inform the body about any changes that occur externally or internally. There are two different kinds of homeostatic mechanisms: a positive feedback mechanism and a negative feedback mechanism. Positive feedback mechanisms boost physiological processes and amplify the system’s action to move the system away from the equilibrium state
