Hormones alter the metabolism of target organs by increasing or decreasing their activity. These changes in activity are strictly balanced to maintain homeostasis (a stable internal environment).
The circulatory system also known as the cardiovascular system, your heart, blood vessels and blood itself are three essential components the body needs to survive. The circulatory system consists of two circuits that blood travels through pulmonary and systemic. Exercise affects these systems causing the heart to pump blood faster around the body, which in turn allows you to exercise for longer.
umm maintaining pregnancy/menstrual cycle...
--Hormones control all bodily functions for ex. Stomach horomone oxyntomodulin seems to signal when it is full thus maintaining homeostasis
Hypothalamus
1. Cortisol - maintains glucos homeostasis 2. Aldosterone - plays a major role in Na+ and K+ levels in the body
1) The main purpose of hormones is to send chemical signals to everywhere in the body. 2) They play a role in the development of bones and muscles 3) They are necessary for bodily changes such as puberty. 4) They control metabolism 5) THey aid in the upkeep of homeostasis
Hormones are the major chemical messengers used by the endocrine system.
Hormones transmit signals from a group of cells to a group of another cells, where its effect is determined to the pattern of secretion and the response of the receiving tissue. It has a long onset of action than neurons and thus is more suitable for controlling slow processes of the body, e.g. growth, menstural cycle, metabolism regulation
Intravascular osmotic effect. This is important in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance and is discussed more fully in those sessions.Contributes to the viscosity of the plasmaTransport of insoluble substances around the body by allowing them to bind to protein molecules.Protein reserve for the bodyClotting this is discussed further in sessions on wounds and wound healingInflammatory response again discussed further in the sessions on the immune system.Protection from infection the gamma globulins function as antibodies and their role is discussed more fully in the sessions on the immune system.Maintenance of the acid-base balance. Again this is explored in more detail in the session on fluid and electrolyte balance.Blood plasma proteins like albumin functions as carrier proteins that help in the translocation of different biomolecules in body.Blood plasma contains the protease inhibitor enzymes like alpha-1 antitrypsin that help in the reduced proteolytic activity in the blood.The blood plasma contains inorganic ions which are important in regulating cell function and maintaining homeostasis.
Simply put: 1. Transportation of gasses, waste products, hormones, enzymes and nutrients 2. Maintaining homeostasis 3. Immunity and defense
1.The oyster maintained homeostasis even in the cold water. Homeostasis - the maintenance of internal condition within an body. For instance, maintaining temperature or ph level.
1. Cortisol - maintains glucos homeostasis 2. Aldosterone - plays a major role in Na+ and K+ levels in the body
1. Rids body of wastes 2.protects body 3. Maintains Homeostasis 4. makes vitamin D 5. sensory

I have the same exact question on my science homework! LOL Either way....... Answer; 1. Inhale 2. Exhale 3. Eating 4. Drinking I'm Pretty Sure these are the answers :)
F. Adenexa: Ovary (2 x 3 x 1/2) (Function: hormones and eggs.) Tube, vessels
1. The hypothalamus integrates the endocrine and nervous systems. The hypothalamus uses the endocrine system because it takes feedback from hormones to help maintain homeostasis by keeping levels within the body regular. The hypothalamus uses the nervous system because it takes instant feedback from the nerves, which it uses to also maintain homeostasis.
Three main functions of the nervous system are:1. To receive sensory information from outside and inside the body;2. To store & to process that information;3. To cause actions relating to that information toward maintaining life.
1. To protect and support internal structures. 2. Maintain the body's temperature and health (homeostasis). 3. Cushion internal structures. 4. Act as a shield to diseases and foreign objects.

The human growth hormones (HGH) are hormones with crystal structure and are very essential during puberty stage. However, even adults need HGH since these hormones are responsible for maintaining proper organ function, metabolism, and overall health. Scientists have also discovered that HGH can delay the signs of aging. One way to increase HGH level is through natural supplements. It is explained here:
