HORMONES Hormones are a class of regulatory biochemicals produced in all multicellular organisms by glands‚ and transported by the circulatory system to a distant target organ to coordinate its physiology and behavior. They serve as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues. Hormones regulate a variety of physiological and behavioral activities‚ including digestion‚ metabolism‚ respiration‚ tissue function‚ sensory perception‚ sleep‚excretion‚ lactation‚ stress‚ growth and

In this experiment‚ we are trying to find the effect of ERα in kisspeptin neurons‚ so we are going to investigate situations where ERα is present or absent. The model we use for this experiment is WT mice with ERα intact in kisspeptin neurons‚ and KERKO mice where ERα is knocked out in kisspeptin neurons. Then the researchers compare various features between WT mice and the knock-out mice 1. The first factor they compared between KERKO and WT mice is how is the presence /absence of the ERα

Through endocrine signaling‚ the signaling molecule or hormone is produced by a gland and discharged into the blood where it travels until it reaches certain blood cells distant from its place of origin on which it exerts its action. This is a long distance communication process. The signaling molecule is mainly of protein origin‚ although there is also a varied range of steroidal hormones.

Discuss the role of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers in the sleep/wake cycle and one other rhythm (24) Siffre (1975) dedicated 6 months of his life to be spent isolated in an underground cave in Texas. During which‚ he was exposed to only artificial light‚ and was given no natural exogenous zeitgebers. This meant that his biological rhythms were subject to free running‚ whereby the body has to dictate its own resources and has no external aid‚ such as natural light or social norms
