Why is there a difference between men and women hematocrit level?
Because a hormone testosterone secreted only in males is also responsible for stimulation of hormone erythropoetin secreted from kidneys. Erythropoetin is responsible for synthesis of rbcs. So males have higher hematocrit than that of females. Women have estrogen! It is a natural inhibitor of erythropoitin (a hormone secreted by the kidneys to erythropoiesis in the bone marrow), on the other hand, testosterone is an activator.
What organ in the body regulates erythrocyte production?
The production of erythrocytes by the red bone marrow is stimulated by the hormone erythropoetin produced by the kidneys.
What is the stimulus for erythropoetin production and release?
Erythropoietin is a hormone that is released by the kidneys during periods of low blood oxygenation in order to increase the number of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the serum.
What is the hormone that kidneys will secrete to stimulate red blood cell production?
Erythropoetin from the mesangial cells of the glomerulus in the nephron of the kidney. These cells detect altered levels of oxygen in the blood plasma.
Which organ secretes the hormone for Red blood cell formation?
Erythropoietin, or its alternatives erythropoetin or erithropoyetin or EPO, is a glycoprotein hormone that controls erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. It is a cytokine for erythrocyte (red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow.Also called hematopoietin or hemopoietin, it is produced by the peritubular capillary endothelial cells in the kidney and liver, it is the hormone that regulates red blood cell production. It also has other known biological functions. For example, erythropoietin plays an important role in the brain's response to neuronal injury. EPO is also involved in the wound healing process
Why do males have more blood than females?
Well, friend, it's not about having more blood, it's about how our bodies distribute it. Men tend to have larger bodies with more muscle mass, which requires more blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients. But remember, both men and women are unique and wonderful just the way they are, with the perfect amount of blood to keep them healthy and strong.
What is the relationship of kidneys and blood Oxygen?
The kidneys monitor oxygen levels in blood and if they are low then the kidneys release erythropoetin in to the blood stream. Red bone marrow cells have erythropoetin receptors and start to produce erythrocyte's in the bone marrow, then they go into the blood stream. This goes on until leaves are back to normal. Since there are more blood cell there is more oxygen carrying capacity.
What kind of hormone is FSH Is it a peptide hormone a steriod hormone or a thyroxine hormone?
peptide hormone
Which hormone is personality hormone?
thyroid hormone
Which endocrine glands is secreting an excess of hormone when a giant is produced?
Growth hormone is the hormone. It is secreted by anterior pitutory
What hormone requires a releasing hormone from the hypothalamus for it secretion?
Growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone all require releasing hormones from the hypothalamus.
The hormone that stimulates the release of growth hormone is called?
growth hormone-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus
