structures and the functions that take place in the human body from the major structures in the brain. The myelencephalon is made up of tracts that carry signals from the rest of the brain throughout the entire part of the body. The myelencephalon has a unique shape. It has a reticular shape meaning it looks like a little net. It is made up of about 100 tiny nuclei that occupies the central core of the brainstem. Parts of the myelencephalon play a part in arousal. The functions of the myelencephalon

Necessary minerals are from time to time divided up into major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). These two groups of minerals are equably valuable; however trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts than major minerals. A well-adjusted diet frequently provides all of the

the pituitary gland‚ a gland located at the base of the brain from where it releases hormones that regulate several functions of the body – one being growth. Pituitary tumours can cause tissues to grow abnormally resulting in certain changes in facial appearance‚ enlarged hands and feet‚ headache and sweating – eyesight too can be affected; this condition is called acromegaly. If someone has excess growth hormone‚ they become excessively tall and become an acromegalic giant. About one in 20 people

The Brain has five major structures . These structures include the mesencephalon‚ metencephalon‚ myelencephalon (or medulla)‚ telencephalon‚ and diecephalon. All of these brain structures contribute different functions within the human body. The brain’s first structure is the myelencephalon‚ which is also called the medulla. The myelencephalon is known as the most posterior part of the brain. The structure of the myelencephalon is made up of bundles of axons called tracts. These tracts carry

Plant hormones can be utilized in the commercial agriculture of important crops such as grapes‚ pineapple‚ watermelons and strawberries. In the production of grapes the plant hormone gibberellin is used. Gibberellins are derivatives of gibberellic acid. They are natural plant hormones and promote flowering‚ stem elongation and break dormancy of seeds. The hormone is used to thin the flowers so as to minimize the competitive effect of early fruiting on vegetation growth. The hormone is also used
