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

Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic____ __cardiac__ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses_____ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of ____heart depolarization____. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3.

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

Unit 10. Assignment 2. The Endocrine System: Diseases and Age-Related Changes Cushing Syndrome Cushing Syndrome is a condition that presents itself due to the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for secretion of hormones. Cushing syndrome comes about when the body has excess levels of a hormone called cortisol in the body. Cortisol is very important. It plays a role in managing blood pressure and keeps the cardiovascular system functioning normally. Cortisol also aids the body
