What else can I help you with?
Most hormones are distributed throughout the body by the?
Most hormones are distributed throughout the body by the bloodstream. They are released from endocrine glands into the bloodstream to reach target tissues and organs where they exert their specific physiological effects.
What organs can serve more than one biological function?
Most of them. many organs can release hormones that act on other organs as well as performing their main functions. for example the pancreas release insulin which can act on the entire muscular system of the body.
How do target organs most often regulate the pituitary gland?
Target organs regulate the pituitary gland through a feedback loop involving hormones. When a target organ senses a change in hormone levels, it can release specific hormones to signal the pituitary gland to either increase or decrease its production of certain hormones. This feedback mechanism helps maintain homeostasis in the body.
Hormones are made of what?
Most hormones are made of protein called peptides. Peptides are short chains of amino acids serving as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues. Hormones help to regulate a number of our body's activities such as digestion, sleep, stress, growth etc.
How does the pituitary gland work with other organs to make the body work?
It produces hormones under the control of the hypothalamus and this controls most of the other glands in the body.
What is the stuff excreted from your eye?
If they are not tears, then most commonly excreted from the eyes are mucous. This can be a result of allergies if you see a lot of them.
Are vitamins excreted through the prostate?
Most water soluble vitamins are excreted through urine. B 12 is the only water soluble vitmain that is excreted through feces.
Which glands are responsible for most of the releasing hormones?
The hypothalamus gland is responsible for producing and releasing most of the releasing hormones in the body. These releasing hormones help control the secretion of hormones from other glands, such as the pituitary gland.
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.
What are the three nitrogenous waste excreted by animals?
The three nitrogenous wastes excreted by animals are ammonia (most toxic, released by aquatic animals), urea (less toxic, excreted by mammals), and uric acid (least toxic, excreted by birds and reptiles).
Are target tissues close to the glands that affect them?
most endocrine hormones are circulating hormones not local hormones.
Where are your hormones in your body?
Hormones are produced by the body's endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of several organs and many glands:Adrenal glandsHypothalamusKidneysLiverOvariesPancreasParathyroidPineal glandPituitary glandPlacentaSkinSmall intestineStomachTestesThymusThyroid glandAll of these play a part in the production, storage, and release of hormones.
