What is hormonal stimuli?
Function: Regulation of the endocrine system by cyclic rhythms of such hormonal stimuli related to light and sleep patterns through positive and negative feedback responses, permits this complex system to regulate the body's chemistry.
Which system regulates chemical activity in the body?
The endocrine and exocrine systems.
What are the endocrine gland control mechanisms?
The most common controlling mechanism of hormone secretion is a feedback system or circuit. An example of this is body temperature, a condition that is continuously monitored and adjusted as necessary so that the body can function properly.
What does the pituitary gland does for the brain?
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain and serves the main purpose of a neuroendocrine regulator of several different hormonal systems. Its main purpose is to release stimulating hormones that regulate the adrenal, thyroid, and other endocrine glands. It works by use of a feedback loop from these downstream organs.
Why the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is not considered a hormonal event?
Because it is released by a motor neuron and not an endocrine gland. Hormones are released only by glands.
What is the endocrine definition of self-regulating?
The endocrine system has four major mechanisms of control that regulate its functions. They are: Hormonal control, neural control, negative feedback, and positive feedback.
What is hormonal stimuli?
Function: Regulation of the endocrine system by cyclic rhythms of such hormonal stimuli related to light and sleep patterns through positive and negative feedback responses, permits this complex system to regulate the body's chemistry.
What is the combination of endocrine gland and hormone?
The combination of an endocrine gland and a hormone is a working endocrine gland that has a chemical messenger called a hormone. The hormone can be either manufactured by that gland itself, a stored hormone that another gland made, or it can be a positive or negative feedback hormone as part of the hormonal control system.
How does the endocrine system use feedback loops to maintian homeostasis?
There are many endocrine systems. An endocrine system is one where a gland excretes substances internally or to a surface such as the skin. Both salivary glands and sweat glands are two such systems. It may seem picky to make this distinction but each system uses its own feedback to achieve homeostasis (equilibrium). There are several types off feedback loop such as "mechanical circuits" (sweat cooling skin to slow this process) or by nervous or hormonal systems. edit: Neither salivary glands nor sweat glands are apart of the endocrine system. Both are exocrine.
Which system regulates chemical activity in the body?
The endocrine and exocrine systems.
Are hormonal targets distant from secretion in the endocrine system?
true
What are the categorys of endocrine gland stimulus?
hormonal, humeral, and neural.
Where are body growth and reproduction hormonal glands contained?
endocrine system
Is the Endocrine system a portion of the autonomic nervous system?
No. The endocrine system is a separate system (hormonal system). With this in mind it is regulated by the ANS
Hormonal system is refer to what?
The endocrine system refers to the glands that secrete hormones.
What is multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes?
The multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes are three related disorders affecting the thyroid and other hormonal (endocrine) glands of the body. MEN has previously been known as familial endocrine adenomatosis.
What are the endocrine gland control mechanisms?
The most common controlling mechanism of hormone secretion is a feedback system or circuit. An example of this is body temperature, a condition that is continuously monitored and adjusted as necessary so that the body can function properly.
