The equine endocrine system is a group of organs that release hormones in the horses body to regulate things like growth‚ metabolism‚ and reproduction. Hormones production is directed by brain signals caused by outside stimuli and it maintained through negative and positive feedback loops. One of the main organs in the endocrine system is the pituitary gland located on the floor of the skull. The hormones produced by the pituitary have a variety of functions from metabolism to reproduction. The most

At 60 seconds‚ pH = 7.4 4. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during normal breathing? If so‚ how? No‚ it stayed at 7.4 5. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? Yes 6. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of normal breathing? If so‚ how? No‚ it stayed at 40mm Hg Activity 2a: Hyperventilation – Run 1 1. At 20 seconds‚ pH = 7.43 2. At 40 seconds‚ pH = 7.52 3. At 60 seconds‚ pH = 7.67 4. Maximum pH = 7.68 5. Did

Activity 1: Direct Heart Stimulation 1. Did you see any change in the trace? No change in the trace 2. Why or why not? This is because it needs more simulation 3. Did you see any change in the trace? I did see a change in the trace 4. Why or why not? There is double stimulation 5. Describe the change you see in the trace. How does it differ from the baseline trace? The trace increased from the baseline trace 6. What effect do the repeated stimuli have on the heartbeat trace

Research each of the following and write a paragraph describing the endocrine gland‚ hormone‚ target tissue‚ symptoms‚ causes‚ and treatment options. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) Human chorionic gonadotropin‚ or hCG‚ is a hormone that helps with the development of an egg in a woman’s ovary‚ as well as the release of the egg during ovulation. If the body doesn’t produce enough hCG on it’s own‚ you can receive injections of it. The injections aren’t for women only‚ they can be used in men to

understanding why we look the way we do from genetics. Like one old coach told me‚ “you might fall behind‚ but the world keeps moving.” Exercise is something that has been talked about way before our time‚ but I will be writing about how exercise physiology has changed the world. The first thing I want to talk about is the positive and overall outcome of the growth of exercise physiology through science. Secondly‚ I will be discussing some of the negative effects including:

THE NERVOUS AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. Humans need both the Nervous and the Endocrine systems basically because they do different things in different ways. They both have a co-ordination role and send instructions to other parts of the body. The nervous system does this by way of neurotransmitters‚( chemical messengers)‚ which are able to get messages through at very high speeds‚ and the endocrine system by way of hormones‚( also chemical messengers)‚ which are released from glands and travel

Chapter 46: Organization of endocrine control Two major systems evolved to communicate and coordinate body functions Nervous system Endocrine system Hormones are carried through the blod to distant target tissue where they are recognized by specific‚ high-affinity receptors These receptors may be located either on the surface of target tissue‚ within the cytosol‚ or in the target cell’s nucleus Once a hormone is recognized by its target tissue or tissues‚ it can exert its biologic action by

The Endocrine system helps to maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones into the bloodstream‚ which travels throughout the body. This system regulates activities such as growth and development and influence emotions and behavior. The relationship of this system alongside the other body systems is how the body maintain a stable equilibrium‚ regulating the activity of the organ systems. Nervous - The endocrine system acts as a communication tool within the human body‚ working alongside with the nervous

prediction because I predicted that the resting membrane potential would become less negative. 3. The extracellular Na+ did not alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron because the Na+ channels were mostly closed. 4. Na+ and K+ both have a relative permeability of 0 voltage outside a resting neuron and a relative negative permeability inside a resting neuron. 5. A change in Na+ or K+ conductance would affect the resting membrane potential because if the membrane is permeable to a particular

voltage at which you first saw an action potential? 3.0 V 3. How does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? The tracing travel in the same fashion but the tracing were different with an increase threshold voltage 4. What reason can you give for the change? Increase voltage 5. Record this maximal voltage here: 6.0 V Activity 2: Mechanical Stimulation 1. When the glass rod is touching the nerve‚ what do you see on the oscilloscope screen? The nerve’s action
