They are part of the endocrine system and they are slow acting but have a longer affect than neurotransmitters. Functions: * regulate growth‚ development‚ behavior‚ and reproduction. * Maintain homeostasis * Regulate metabolism and water and mineral balance * Respond to external stimuli

Patients diagnosed with GBS start off with a febrile episode‚ followed by muscle weakness‚ ascending paralyzation‚ and increased oral secretions. A patient can be diagnosed better by various testing such as measuring the patient’s Negative inspiratory force‚ blood gasses and vital capacity. The management of GBS is fairly easy but very tedious‚ the diagnostic numbers must be constantly updated

infections in their intestines‚ but do not usually become ill from them. The avian influenza is quite contagious among birds and can even kill domesticated species such as chickens‚ turkeys‚ and ducks. These birds become infected when exposed to secretions or feces from infected birds or from coming into contact with surfaces that those infected birds have come into contact with (cdc.gov). Birds‚ just like people‚ get the flu. Most bird flu viruses can only infect other birds. However‚ bird flu

increasing levels of follicule-stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutinizing hormone (LH). The brain acts directly on the follicle cells (in the follicular phase) and the corpus luteum (in the luteal phase) to stimulate a response. The result of hormonal secretions of the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary along with the ovarian and uterine cycle is menstruation. The overall cycle is regulated by the hormones that result from a release of GnRH from the brain. Negative feedback occurs in the early follicular

While in the urethra‚ Spermy is mixed with a secretion coming from the prostate gland that assists Spermy on his journey in finding the female ovum.

response to high blood sugar‚ although a low level of insulin is always secreted by the pancreas. After a meal‚ the amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Likewise‚ as blood glucose falls‚ insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet beta cells decreases. In response to insulin‚ cells (muscle‚ red blood cells‚ and fat cells) take glucose in from the blood‚ which ultimately lowers the high blood glucose levels back to the normal range. Glucagon
