What else can I help you with?
In circumstances where the body requires prolonged or increased levels of a hormone the DNA of target cells will specify the synthesis of more receptors on the surface of the cells of the target organ?
Yes, this process is known as upregulation. When the body needs higher levels of a hormone for an extended period, the target cells can increase the number of receptors on their surface through gene expression to enhance sensitivity and response to the hormone. This allows the cells to better respond to the increased hormone levels to maintain homeostasis.
What does the LH hormone do?
LH(Leutenizing Hormone) hormone induces the process of spermatogenesis.
What is the process that changes liquid to gases?
Increased temperature (the application of heat), lower air pressure, and evaporation.
What is it called when a hormone is present in excessive levels the number of target cells receptors may decrease?
Downregulation is the process in which the number of target cell receptors decreases in response to excessive levels of a hormone. This can help maintain homeostasis by reducing the cell's sensitivity to high hormone levels.
When a gas changes to a liquid that process is called?
The process of a gas changing to a liquid is called condensation. This typically occurs when the gas is cooled or when pressure is increased.
Insulin is the process of what?
Insulin is not a process it is an organic compound, a hormone.
What turns soft coal into when increased heat and pressure?
Soft coal, also known as lignite, transforms into harder forms of coal such as bituminous coal or anthracite when subjected to increased heat and pressure over millions of years. This process is known as coalification.
What happens during positive feedback loop?
During positive feedback loop, e.g. a gland activates a hormone and the hormone in turn activates the gland. After the hormone knows that it is being activated by the gland, the hormone signals the gland to produce more of the hormone. This is positive feedback loop.
What role does the lactation hormone play in the process of breastfeeding?
The lactation hormone, also known as prolactin, stimulates the production of breast milk in the mammary glands. It is essential for the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding by promoting milk production and regulating milk supply in response to the baby's feeding cues.
What is the process by which the body prepares to deal with a stressor?
The body's stress response begins in the brain where the hypothalamus signals the adrenal glands to release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones trigger physiological changes such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and heightened alertness to prepare the body to cope with the stressor. This is known as the fight-or-flight response.
What is the process of hormone release called?
Secretion
What hormone stimulates erythopoesis?
Erythropoietin is the hormone that stimulates erythropoiesis, which is the process of red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Erythropoietin is produced by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the blood.
