Sakariye .M Biology 5/27/2014 ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS AND HOW THEY AFFECT EVERYTHING “Our Stolen Future” by Theo Colborn is about the health and environmental threats created by man-made chemical contaminants that interfere with hormones in humans and wildlife. In this paper i’ll explain what is an endocrine system‚ what are endocrine disruptors‚ and how endocrine disruptors affect humans. The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands
Premium Endocrine system Cancer Metabolism
Endocrine System Is a group of specialized organs and body tissues that produce‚ store‚ and secrete chemical substances known as hormones. As the body’s chemical messengers‚ hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another. Because of the hormones they produce‚ endocrine organs have a great deal of influence over the body. Among their many jobs are regulating the body’s growth and development‚ controlling the function of various tissues‚ supporting pregnancy

An overview of the nervous and endocrine systems‚ their functions and how together they regulate homeostasis The endocrine system is the internal system of the body that deals with chemical communication by means of hormones‚ the ductless glands that secrete the hormones‚ and those target cells that respond to hormones. The endocrine system functions in maintaining the basic functions of the body ranging from metabolism to growth. The endocrine system functions in long term behavior and works

Endocrine system Endocrinology is the study of chemical communication systems that provide the means to control a huge number of physiologic processes. Like other communication networks‚ endocrine systems contain transmitters‚ signals and receivers that are called‚ respectively‚ hormone producing cells‚ hormones and receptors. The first step in understanding endocrinology is to explore the meaning of such terms as hormone‚ receptor and target cell‚ and to obtain an understanding of how chemical

Black Rat Biology Honors Paper The Rattus Rattus (black rat) is one of the most problematic invasive species in the world. Covering 80% of all archipelagos and are found on six continents. Black rats are mainly found on tropical islands such as the Galapagos‚ Hawaii and most of the islands in Central America. Rats prefer to live in areas filled with forests and shrubland‚ but can live on minimal vegetation. Scientists have been able to exterminate this invasive species from most temperate and sub
