The Endocrine System FOCUS: The endocrine system is one of the major regulatory systems in the body‚ along with the nervous system. However‚ the endocrine system responds more slowly‚ and has a longer-lasting‚ more general effect on the body than the nervous system. Endocrine tissues internally produce hormones which are released into the blood‚ where they are carried to target tissue and produce a response. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane‚ producing permeability

1. What is metabolic absorption? “All the cells take in and use nutrients and other substances from their surroundings. Cells of the intestine and the kidney are specialized to carry out absorption. Cells of the kidney tubules reabsorb fluids and synthesize proteins. Intestinal epithelial cells reabsorb fluids and synthesize protein enzymes” (McCance & Huether‚ pg. 2). 2. What uses oxygen to remove hydrogen atoms in an oxidative reaction? “Peroxisomes are so named because they usually contain

it dilates the pupil‚ accelerates the heartbeat then inhibits the digestion to the stomach‚ pancreas‚ and liver‚ in the pancreas the stimulation of glucose for the liver takes place; subsequently‚ moving on down to the secretion of the epinephrine‚ and norepinephrine; which in turn relaxes the bladder and stimulates ejection for the male. On the other hand‚ the parasympathetic nervous system is the calming part of the body‚ and it is as follows; the pupil contracts and slows down the heartbeat‚ and

nervous and endocrine systems overlap to some extent. Certain specialized nerve cells known as neurosecretory cells release hormones into the blood. The hormones produced by these cells are sometimes called neurohormones. Chemicals such as epinephrine serve as both hormones of the endocrine system and neurotransmitters in the nervous system. The nervous system plays a role in certain sustained responses—controlling day/night cycles and reproductive cycles in many animals‚ for example—often

140 or greater(Pheochromocytoma - Medical Definition and More from Merriam-Webster. n.d.). So what does all this mean in layman terms? Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor of adrenal gland tissue. It results in the release of too much epinephrine and norepinephrine‚ hormones that control heart rate‚ metabolism‚ and blood pressure. The adrenal glands are a part of the Endocrine system. It is this system that the body depends on to regulate normal body functions. Most of these types of tumors are
