system is a system of glands‚ each of which secretes a type of hormone into the bloodstream to regulate the body. It derives from the Greek words endo meaning inside‚ within‚ and crinis for secrete. The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system. Hormones are substances (chemical mediators) released from endocrine tissue into the bloodstream that attach to target tissue and allow communication among cells. Hormones regulate many functions of an organism‚ including mood‚ growth

body is interconnected to 2 vary different superhighway systems‚ they are the nervous system and the endocrine system‚ which secretes chemical messengers called hormones. According to (Myers‚ 2008‚ p 45)‚ “hormones are chemical messengers‚ manufactured by the endocrine glands‚ which are produced in one tissue and affect another.” Hormones travel through he bloodstream. The human body is comprised of 2 very important informational highways that influence every bit of aggression‚ food‚ and sexual desire

functions by synthesizing (making) and releasing hormones‚ chemical messengers. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release their hormones directly into the bloodstream for chemical signaling of target cells. Endocrine glands do not have a duct system and are called ductless glands. These glands release hormones directly into the blood or lymph. These glands include the pituitary gland‚ the pineal gland‚ the hypothalamus‚ the thyroid gland‚ the parathyroid glands‚ the thymus‚ the adrenal

Structures are tropic hormone and neurohypophysis. Thyroid: A) Location: anteriorly‚ above the thyroid glad. B) Structures are the isthmus connecting the two lobe and thyroid follices and network of capillaries Adrenal: A) Location: sit on superior border of each kidney‚ it has 3 regions which are the capsul‚ adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla

the fact that women are going into menopause‚ while men are still at risk they don’t have the increased testosterone drive to push their abilities like when they were younger. Women over 55 began all the necessary changes in their body including hormone shifts and chemical imbalances. This could be a reason for why their heart attack rate becomes more even with men. Based on these results and my hypothesis‚ I believe more work should be put into studying the results of hormonal and chemical changes

Chapter 45 Hormones and the Endocrine System Lecture Outline Overview: The Body’s Long-Distance Regulators An animal hormone is a chemical signal that is secreted into the circulatory system that communicates regulatory messages within the body. A hormone may reach all parts of the body‚ but only specific target cells respond to specific hormones. A given hormone traveling in the bloodstream elicits specific responses from its target cells‚ while other cell types ignore that particular
