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)

Chapter 46: Organization of endocrine control Two major systems evolved to communicate and coordinate body functions Nervous system Endocrine system Hormones are carried through the blod to distant target tissue where they are recognized by specific‚ high-affinity receptors These receptors may be located either on the surface of target tissue‚ within the cytosol‚ or in the target cell’s nucleus Once a hormone is recognized by its target tissue or tissues‚ it can exert its biologic action by

Endocrine Disruptors in the Environment Endocrine disruptor can be found in products that we use on a daily basic such as plastic bottles‚ cosmetics‚ detergents‚ toys‚ can foods‚ and pesticides. These disruptors are chemical that at specific dose may interfere with the body’s endocrine system‚ which in order can produce hostile neurological‚ developmental‚ immune‚ and reproductive effects in the human body. Disruptors can work in may ways such as impersonating a natural hormone‚ blocking the effects

The Endocrine System Exercise 1: The Pituitary Gland obseRvations A. Please describe in detail the structures and features you observed on the pituitary gland slide. The Pituitary Gland Slides The Anterior Pituitary Gland was darker than the Posterior Pituitary Gland. In the Anterior Pituitary Gland Slide you can see Chromophobes and Acidophiles. Not super easy to distinguish which is which though. The Posterior Pituitary Gland slide showed Pitulcytes (Neuroglia) as light purple

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM The endocrine system helps regulate and maintain various body functions by synthesizing (making) and releasing hormones‚ chemical messengers. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release their hormones directly into the bloodstream for chemical signaling of target cells. Endocrine glands do not have a duct system and are called ductless glands. These glands release hormones directly into the blood or lymph. These glands include the pituitary gland‚ the pineal gland

The Growth of Rats Problem Statement: When a ship sails across the ocean two rats are on board. A female and male are then left on a deserted island during late December. This island soon becomes the rats’ home. The number of offsprings that might be produced from this pair in a year should be estimated. One should make these assumptions when executing the problem. ❏ Every litter produces six young rats‚ and three of those six rats are females. ❏ The first rat that mates births six rats on January 1

THE NERVOUS AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. Humans need both the Nervous and the Endocrine systems basically because they do different things in different ways. They both have a co-ordination role and send instructions to other parts of the body. The nervous system does this by way of neurotransmitters‚( chemical messengers)‚ which are able to get messages through at very high speeds‚ and the endocrine system by way of hormones‚( also chemical messengers)‚ which are released from glands and travel

of the Fmr1 rat training‚ we have 1 rat that finished the challenge trials running on reminder S8b schedules. It is a male wild type that performed with more than 75% accuracy with fewer than 10% omissions. The second rat was run on baseline schedule today and it performed exceptionally well with 88% accuracy and 8% omission. - The 2 rats running on the baseline trials are performing at less than criterion rates with one rat showing 60% accuracy and 37% omission rate whereas second rat performed
