What is the name of the hormone that starts puberty?
The first hormone that starts the changes in boy boys and girls is called 'gonadotrophin releasing hormone' (GnRH). It is released by the hypothalamus (a part of the brain) and triggers the pituitary gland to release two hormones: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
What gland do testosterone and estrogen have in common?
the petuitary gland its the little one in front of your brain about the size of a pea i think
Does more estrogen balance excess testosterone in women?
Found the following at http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C621300.html under Recommendations and Treatments for high Testosterone Level: Hormone - Estrogen Replacement "Low estrogens allow the circulating androgens and testosterone to be more freely available and thus stimulate cells more. Increasing the circulating estrogen in the blood by taking estrogens will increase the proteins that bind the androgens and help decrease the effects of all androgens, whether the levels are normal or excessive." Also from http://www.drmirkin.com/women/1233.html "Just taking birth control pills markedly lower a woman's blood levels of testosterone because the estrogen in birth control pills shuts down the brain that produces FSH the hormone that causes the ovaries to produce testosterone." Not certain on the reliability of these sources, but either or both might be correct. So the higher your estrogen level, the lower your testosterone level will be? x
What are the principle concerning puberty?
The brain triggers the adrenals to produce hormones. This causes the gonads to produce testosterone in boys and estrogen in girls.
What happens in hot flashes?
As estrogen levels are depleted, whether due to surgical, chemical, or natural age-related changes, the area in the brain that regulates several functions including body temperature--the hypothalamus--becomes "confused."
What hormones bring about puberty?
The main hormones that are involved in puberty are testosterone for males and oestrogen (can also be spelt 'estrogen') and progesterone for females. These are released from a gland in the brain called the pituitary gland. Other hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH).
Which perspective is most relevant to understanding the linkages between hormone levels and sexual motivation?
The biological perspective is most relevant for understanding the linkages between hormone levels and sexual motivation. This perspective emphasizes the role of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen in influencing sexual behavior, desire, and motivation through their effects on the brain and body.
Are boys brains different than girls?
physically no. There are chemicals produced more by boys and others produced more by girls, so chemically, there can be a difference. Testosterone and Estrogen are the most commonly known of these. Boys produce more testosterone and girls produce more estrogen, so the brain will contain more of one or the other depending on gender.
Is estrogen present in males and what role does it play in their physiology?
Yes, estrogen is present in males, but in much lower levels than in females. In males, estrogen plays a role in bone health, brain function, and sexual function. It also helps regulate cholesterol levels and supports cardiovascular health.
What chemical in your body causes you to be horney?
The hormone responsible for sexual arousal is testosterone in males and estrogen in females. These hormones play a role in regulating libido and triggering sexual desire. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter, also plays a role in the brain's reward system and is associated with feelings of pleasure and excitement during sexual activities.
How are events in the menstrual cycle triggered by the body?
The menstrual cycle is primarily regulated by hormones produced by the ovaries and the pituitary gland in the brain. At the beginning of the cycle, the brain releases hormones that stimulate the ovaries to start producing estrogen. As estrogen levels rise, it triggers the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) and prepares the uterus for a potential pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, leading to menstruation.
Which part of the brain regulates water balance?
The part of the brain that regulates water balance also regulates body temperature. This part of the brain is called the hypothalamus.
