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

Applied Human Science – CHAPTER 1 1. Which Organ system maintains a relatively slow-acting degree of control over most bodily functions? Endocrine System (hormones act in minutes to hours‚ in contrast to nerve impulses‚ which act in fractions of a second). 2. The esophagus and the trachea run side-by-side through the thorax. In which systems are these organs found? The esophagus belongs to the digestive system‚ and the trachea belongs to the respiratory system. (The esophagus carries food to the

Lab 28B: Endocrine System Physiology Computer Simulation Introduction The endocrine system is the second greatest control system of the body and has many effects on the tissues and organs. The thyroid gland‚ which is a part of the endocrine system‚ releases a hormone that maintains metabolism. This hormone is thyroxine. Thyroxine production is controlled by thyroid stimulating hormone‚ which is released by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. In

-We have 2 parts in our nervous system: The central nervous system (CNS) is the nerves in our brain and spinal chord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a network of nerve cells in the rest of our body. -Our nervous system detects stimuli and allows us to react to them. -Stimulus: a change‚ action or occurrence in the environment that can cause an organism to respond. Eg. Light‚ noise‚ pressure… How do we detect stimuli? -We have sensory organs that detect particular stimuli eg. Skin What

Endocrine The endocrine gland system helps produce and deliver hormones. These help take control of many important body parts. It also helps your body change your calories into energy. Endocrine system is important because it impacts how your heart beats‚ how your tissues grow and even if you can have a baby. It also plays a role if you would or wouldn’t develop thyroid‚ growth disorders‚ or a host of other hormone related disorders. The glands of the endocrine system let go of specific hormones

Nervous System Differences according to: Motor neurons Sensory neurons Autonomic neurons Function Transmits impulses from the CNS which consists of the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands elsewhere in the body Transmits impulses inwards from the sense organs to the CNS Located within the CNS‚ they transmit the electrical impulses generated by the stimuli to other nerves Structure Have Dendrites‚ Cell Body‚ Myelin Sheath‚ Node of Ranvier and Synaptic Knobs.

Invertebrate Endocrinology Overview of the Endocrine System * System of ductless glands that secrete hormones * Hormones are “messenger molecules” * Circulate in the blood * Act on distant target cells * Target cells respond to the hormones for which they have receptors * The effects are dependent on the programmed response of the target cells * Hormones are just molecular triggers * Basic categories of hormones * Amino acid based: modified amino acids (or amines)

The nervous system comprises the central nervous system which is made up of the brain and spinal cord‚ with the main functions being processing information and determining responses and the peripheral nervous systems which is made up of all sensory‚ motor and inter neurons within the body and these are located on peripheral nerves. All of them work together to collect sensory data and also control the actions of the body. Sensory neurons collect sensory information and convey it to the brain‚ and

The Endocrine System Vincent Schwartz Laszlo Vass‚ Ed.D. Version 42-0023-01-01 Purpose What is the purpose of this exercise? Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. Students will identify the major endocrine glands and tissues of the body. Students will relate each endocrine gland to the

Nervous System The two types of the nervous system are the Central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. They are responsible for integrating‚ processing‚ and coordinating Sensory data and motor commands the central nervous system‚ which interprets sensory input and carry information to maintain homeostasis. CNS can’t be regenerate because a CNS consists of the spinal cord that mean if it’s break the spinal cord is break also. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves
