surrounded by the Golgi body. The acrosome develops which is full of digestive enzymes that will enable the sperm to penetrate the oocyte. Mature spermatozoon is produced under the influence of testosterone from the leydig cells in the testes. This hormone also removes unnecessary cytoplasm and organelles. The excess cytoplasm is now consumed by endocytosis from the surrounding sertoli cells in the testes. The mature spermatozoon is now suspended in the lumen‚ it will then break away and float down

Human Anatomy and Physiology 2 Growth Hormone and Thyroid hormones Growth hormone is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. This hormone was once believed to be of importance only during periods of active growth‚ but it is now recognized that adults produce nearly as much GH as children (Adams and Koch‚ 2009).GH stimulates the liver to produce sommatropins that then targets a variety of cells. Although its major targets are bone and skeletal muscle‚ GH stimulates many types of

How Hormones Effect the Endocrine System Introduction: The endocrine system primarily relies on the negative feedback mechanism. The endocrine system influences metabolic activities by sending out chemical messengers through the blood called hormones. Once released into the blood these hormones are transported throughout the body. The effects of these hormones are wide spread and vary from reproduction‚ growth and development‚ immunities‚ maintaining electrolyte levels‚ water and nutrient balance

Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid does not produce enough of the hormones that are required to maintain metabolism (Harvard School of Medicine‚ 2007). Introduction Hypothyroidism is not a disease itself‚ but is a condition that a disease state causes (Buckley & Schub‚ 2008). Many of the causes of hypothyroidism are related to autoimmune conditions‚ where the body attacks itself‚ rendering the thyroid useless (Raisbeck‚ 2009). In fact‚ this is the most common cause

the relationship between overall dominance and testosterone are one in the same. Testosterone‚ (which was also represented as “T” in the study) levels for male athletes show variances in ways we assume both during and after a competitive match. The male athletes T levels rise shortly before their match in anticipation. However after the match their T levels will depend on whether that person has won or lost at their competition. Competitiveness and testosterone use in females is said to be very useful
