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

of well known environmental contaminants‚ such as dioxin‚ PCBs and DDT‚ can affect hormone levels. Hormones are produced by the endocrine system as regulators of biological function in target organs. Because hormones play a critical role in early development‚ toxicological effects on the endocrine system often have an impact on the reproductive system. The term endocrine disruptor is used to describe chemicals that can mimic hormones and may either enhance or counteract their effects. It has been

Endocrine system or endocrine disruptor is not something we commonly hear or discuss about in our society. However‚ they both play a big role in humans. Many people have no insight of endocrine system or endocrine disruptor. The endocrine system is glands secreting different types of hormones that go directly into bloodstream to transfer information and instruction to one set of cells to another certain cells. Hormones are the body’s chemical messenger which regulates growth and development‚ body’s

The endocrine system is very dynamic and has ties to most‚ if not all of the other major systems of the body. It is responsible for production of hormones and the regulation of them as well. These hormones act as chemical messengers within the body. Through several differing mechanisms‚ they are able to trigger very specific responses in target cells or organs. This is what enables the endocrine system to guide growth‚ development‚ reproduction‚ and behavior‚ among many others as well.

Danielle Rollins Cardiovascular Physiology Activity 1 1) Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. The ventricular contraction is when the blood is sent through the whole body as opposed to the atrial contraction that sends the blood to the heart and lungs. 2) Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action

The endocrine system is one of our body systems that plays an important role in living. It comprises of many glands exerting hormones in maintaining the body’s internal environment also known as homeostasis. The endocrine system plays an important role in homeostasis because it maintains growth and development‚ maturation‚ reproduction‚ human behavior‚ metabolism‚ sexual function and controls functions of the tissues. It is partnered with the nervous system since the hypothalamus along with the pineal

Endocrine system The Endocrine system is very important to our body. This system regulates our mood‚ growth‚ metabolism‚ tissue development‚ sexual functions and reproductive process. It is a very complex system with many different hormones and glands. I am going to write about the pituitary gland and thyroid. The pituitary gland is very often considered to be the most important glad in the Endocrine system. The Thyroid produces thyroxine andtriiodothyronine. The Pituitary gland is no bigger

The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism‚ growth and development‚ tissue function‚ sexual function‚ reproduction‚ sleep‚ and mood‚ among other things. The endocrine system is a very important system in the human body. There are many endocrine glands in this system‚ including -but not limited to- the pituitary gland‚ hypothalamus‚ pineal gland‚ thyroid gland‚ parathyroid glands‚ adrenal glands‚ pancreas‚ gonads‚ placenta‚ thymus‚ heart and gastric
