A. pituitary gland.
The hormone that stimulates contractions of the uterus in mammals is oxytocin. However, the story is probably rather more complex. In mice, for example, that had no cell membrane receptors for oxytocin, birth took place as usual. Oxytocin has a short peptide molecule consisting of just nine amino acids.
pituitary gland
Probably has to do with the increase in glandular tissue, which compresses the blood vessels, leading to the shooting pain. During pregnancy the breasts are getting ready to produce milk, therefore increase is size, and activate the glands (this process is due to the hormone prolactin, released by the hypothalamus). It is nothing to worry about, and is quite common in pregnancy, and during the menstrual period.
Endocrine is a word usually used in refference to hormones. It means a sudstance that is produced and sent around the body in the blood. And example of an endocrine hormone is adrenaline/epinephrine which is involved in the autonomic nervous response. The opposite of endocrine is exocrine meaning th substance is delivered to its target withough getting into the blood.
Technically, no you can not live w/o your pituitary gland. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing though and you can replace all hormones lost via pituitary gland by mouth or by injection. The most important hormones lost is cortisol and thyroid. Without cortisol, you would die.
a. pitutary gland The answer is correct. I just took the test.
ganglionAnswerThe most straight-forward answer would be the hypothalamus, because in simple terms, the hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland and the pituitary gland is the "master gland" of the endocrine system. But you could probably have a nice long discussion about what exactly counts as a link between the nervous and endocrine systems. Is it a functional link? A structural one? Does the question force the answerer to draw an arbitrary line dividing organs of the nervous and endocrine systems?
probably not
Vasopressin is produced in the postieror pituitary gland. This glad also produces oxytocin.
What you might find in the diencephalon is a lot of neurons. Its name means the second brain and is just below the cortex. The most noteable of its structures would probably be the thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and amygdala, and other structures of the limbic system which is where we process emotions.
There is no hormone to stimulate the production of the parathyroid hormone from pituitary gland. The calcium level is probably have auto regulation.
No, the other way around. Higher testosterone levels will increase sperm. A differing view is that testosterone is absorbed by some soft tissues in the body. it is a fact that women do get a boost in Testosterone from semen during sex, They also pick up testosterone from deep (french) kissing a man. So if that is so & it is, Semen in the mouth will allow for the absorption of Testosterone. Swallowing, probably not, the acid in the stomach will break down the Testosterone.
Yes, the pituitary gland can be removed. You would have to take replacement hormones to make up for the loss of hormones the pituitary gland would make though. The pituitary is made up of two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior consists of these hormones: growth hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. The posterior consists of antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.
It is probably Follicle stimulating hormone.
The pituitary is probably what you are looking for although the statement is not completely correct.

Probably not, as it is essentially an injection of testosterone to the penis, causing an erection.
