increasing release of calcium from bone. Through their secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH)‚ the parathyroid glands are primarily responsible for maintaining extracellular calcium concentrations. Hence‚ overproduction of parathyroid hormone results in elevated levels of plasma calcium. Hyperparathyroidism is a disease characterized by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone which is an 84–amino acid polypeptide hormone. The secretion of parathyroid hormone is regulated directly by the plasma

Equine Reproductive System Tim Heckart In exploring the reproductive system of the horse we must first understand that this system is made up of physical structures and hormonal or chemical secretions‚ actions‚ and reactions. While the physical structures are readily identifiable‚ the hormonal systems are a bit more obscure. Some of these hormonal actions and reactions are still not fully understood today. We begin with the delivery of a Filly. At this stage in her life she already has all

SENSE- is the ability to perceive stimuli. SENSATION (PERCEPTION)- is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. GENERAL SENSES- are those with receptors distributed over a large part of the body. SOMATIC SENSES- provides sensory information about the body and the environment. VISCERAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure and are localized to specific parts of the body such as pain and pressure. SPECIAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure such as smell

When treated with dHACM extracts‚ human dermal fibroblasts upregulated biosynthesis of bFGF‚ GCSF‚ and PlGF in vitro‚ three growth factors involved in healing.50 Similarly‚ dHACM treatment

important function is to regulate the sleep/wake cycle. It also regulate the frequency of eating and drinking‚ body temperature‚ secretion of hormones‚ volume of urination‚ and sensitivity to drugs. A few interesting ‘times’ during the 24 hour cycle is: the bowel movements‚ fastest reaction time‚ best coordination‚ and then the most interesting the highest testosterone secretion? This is all controlled by a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The suprachiasmatic nucleus or SCN is a

called releasing hormones that are absorbed into the primary capillaries. These compounds in turn effect the secretion of stimulating hormones into the secondary capillaries to take them all over the body by the blood. Some of these from the anterior pituitary are called tropic hormones because they stimulate specific endocrine glands. The two targeting the reproductive organs are called gonadotropins. Secretion of most tropic hormones is achieved by negative feedback of the target gland hormones acting on
