A DISTINGUISHED DISTINCTION 2 The male and female body may look different in appearance, but they behave and react similarly internally. Most differences depend on the different hormones in men and women, mainly testosterones and estrogen. Hormones both affect and effect emotions and sexuality within the male and female body. The brain is also an internal component that shows similarity and difference patterns. From fetus our genitals are the same. Our genitals form within the first six weeks. XX or XY chromosomes are the contributing factors to the differences in the development of our genitals. As we grow the male and female body begins to produce hormones. These hormones are testosterone and estrogen. Males produce more testosterone and females produce more estrogen. Our bodies produce these hormones and many others. Hormones affect how the body reacts. These reactions reveal the similarities and differences between males and females. This exchange process produces the differences between our biological chemistry (Spencer, 1999). Men and women both have the same hormones, but there are important variation in the hormone levels and patterns. The levels and patterns are determined by how each hormone interacts with the male and female bodies. All the way doe to the ego, testosterone is responsible for what sums up a man. Estrogen is the main ingredient in the performance of women. These hormones increase other hormones when entice with information, conflict, excitement, or emotional situation (Halpern, 2004). Estrogen increases oxytocin a calming hormone. The exchange of this process varies due to the infinite levels and patterns throughout the male and female body. As a rule, male and females react differently to situations. We may think a male reacts to

    However, the environment does affect the secretions and the concentration of hormones that are released. Due to the "The Librarian" (n.d.), " principle of feedback mechanism” (Influence Of Heredity And Hormones On Human Behavior) the body is affected by the internal and external changes and this can stimulate hormone secretion. For instance, adrenaline will be produced when the body has been subjected to a fearful situation. Adrenaline concentrates the glucose in the muscle tissue which allows the body to prepare for fight or flight. Once the body has been removed from the fearful situation the hormone is no longer produced by the brain.…

    Although we are all humans, we have two very different genders a man and a woman. Each gender comes with a different body and ways our bodies react to things, as well the ability of those bodies. Even within the same gender there are differences in body types and what they are able to do. For example some women are incapable of having children, while other women have an easy time having children. Such as some men are naturally skinny while other men are naturally more big boned and heavier, also having trouble losing weight. There are women with these problems as well. The different body parts that a man and woman have is perhaps the biggest difference between the two genders and is often at the center of argument or debate between the genders. While those are major differences between the genders, the biggest differences is how our minds work and react to different situations in our lives. All those differences between genders also get added on by the diverse cultures and races in…

    We 've learned from Goldstein 's study and others that the amygdala is larger in males and the amygdala its actions have to do with emotional arousal and stress. In rats, the neurons of the males have more interconnections in males, thus, we would assume the same would be true in human males. Presumably these anatomical differences could be factors in how the sexes respond to stress stimuli differently. Katharina Braun and her co-workers at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany conducted a study into just that. For purposes of the study they used a litter of Degu (Octodon Degu) pups. According to Smiley 's Degu Pups, Degus are a brown-tweed, long-tailed rodent, similar in appearance to the gerbil, but the size of a small guinea pig, originating in South America and also known as the “Chilean Squirrel. These animals by nature are a social animal and live in large colonies. Separation of these animals cause quite an emotional reaction. Thus, for stimuli, they removed the litter of pups from their mother. According to Cahill, “they then measured the concentration of serotonin receptors in various brain regions. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, or signal carrying molecule, that is key for mediating emotional behavior. (Prozac, for example, acts by increasing serotonin function.).” After they measured the serotonin, they stimulated the pups by letting them…

    Men and women are really not the same. Their thinking, acting, communicating and many other behaviors are different. One can make broad generalizations about males and females. The primary difference between these genders is that men are resolvers and women are relaters. Being resolvers, men tend to focus on doing, resolving issues, finding solutions and solving problems. As relaters, women generally focus on pleasing, understanding, feelings, communicating, exploring emotions, making connections and being understood.…
