What else can I help you with?
How do you some hormones affect only certain cells in the body but not others?
These cells have specific types of receptors on their membranes.
What organs do hormones travel from endocrine glands through bloodstream?
Hormones travel from endocrine glands through the bloodstream to reach target organs or tissues where they exert their specific effects. Some of the major endocrine glands that release hormones into the bloodstream include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, and ovaries/testes.
What are the names of organs that release hormones?
They are called glands and they make up the endocrine system. Some glands are the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, the thyroid and parathyroids, the adrenal glands, the pineal body and the ovaries and testes.
What two body systems interact to deliever hormones to the organs they affect?
Although some hormones are stimulated for release by humoral factors (nutrient and ion concentrations), most are either directly stimulated for release by the nervous system or indirectly stimulated for release though inhibitory or releasing hormones via the hypothalamus which is also part of the nervous system. The transport part of your question is that the endocrine system relies on the cardiovascular system to circulate the hormones throughout the body in order to reach their target organs.
The endocrine system regulates body activities by using?
The endocrine system regulates body activities by using hormones as chemical messengers. Hormones are produced by glands and are released into the bloodstream to target specific organs and tissues to control various physiological processes, such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
What are the examples of hormones that target organs involved in reproduction?
Some examples of hormones that target organs involved in reproduction include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones play key roles in regulating the menstrual cycle, sperm production, ovulation, and other reproductive processes.
How do neurofibromas affect the nervous system?
A neurofibroma is a tumour, usually benign, that attacks the peripheral nervous system. There are several categories of neurofibroma; some affect the skin and others the internal organs. The latter sometimes turn cancerous and can cause pain and disfigurement.
Steroid hormones are produced by what?
By glands. Hormones are produced only by the endocrine glands, e.g., the pituitary, the adrenals, etc.. Hormones are "chemical messengers": they are sent by the glands to target organs and stimulate them to produce specific effects, e.g. the hormone thyroxin is manufactured by the thyroid gland to regulate the metabolism.
What forms hormones which act as chemical regulators for growth and development?
the hormones are form from the organs and are passed by ducts (in some cases only.Eg-pancreas) into parts of the body and act chemically in growth and development in the body
What other body systems does hyperthyroidism effect?
Thyroid hormones affect the metabolism of every single cell in the body. Some organs can handle increased metabolism better than others, but hyperthyroidism can result in organ damage and dysfunction that can eventually lead to death. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.
Why do some women have larger breasts than others?
Usually genetics or the amount of growth hormones consumed during their lifetime from animals that were fed growth hormones.
What are three things hormones do?
Hormones affect several different processes some include: reproduction, mood, growth and development, and metabolism. Hormones are very powerful and a small amount can cause huge changes in your body.
