What function does a birds pineal gland accomplish?
It brings the bird into a condition suitable for breeding.
No food contains insulin. Insulin is an hormone that is produced within the body. Diabetics that need to take insulin for their condition have to take it via injection.
What is the role of the hypothalamus in the production of thyroxine and TSH?
The hypothalamus produces TSH Releasing Hormone (TRH) that signals the pituitary to tell the thyroid gland to produce more or less of T3 and T4 by either increasing or decreasing the release of a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
What hormones are released from the adrenal gland?
The adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are endrocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys in mammals. For humans, the right gland is triangular shaped while the left gland is semilunar shaped. They are responsible for releasing hormones in conjunction with stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines, such as epinephrine. Adrenal glands effect kidney function through the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone involved in regulating plasma osmolarity.
What would happen if enzyme amylase is absent in saliavary gland secretions?
Starch and glycogen would not be able to be digested and sugar would not be able to be formed.
If the pancreas was to brust i really dont know what would happem..
A test is done, thyroid radioactive uptake, to see the size of the goiter. There is a possibility that the goiter will shrink without the need for surgery. The other removal method is surgery. Have a doctor determine these.
How are the nervous system and endocrine system similar and how are they different?
1. They both are communicators of the body. The endocrine is a slow communicator and the nervous system is a fast communicator.
A thyroid nuclear medicine scan is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck and controls the body's metabolism.
A radioactive substance that concentrates in the thyroid is taken orally or injected into a vein (intravenously), or both. A special camera is used to take an image of the distribution of the radioactive substance in and around the thyroid gland. This is interpreted to evaluate thyroid function and to diagnose abnormalities.
i hope that this answer helped you..!
What diseases affect the adrenal glands?
Addisons disease and Cushing's syndrome are two diseases that affect the adrenal glands.
Is a TSH level of 9.7 considered normal?
According to the lab sheet print out from my internist's office, normal TSH values run between 0.4 and 5. There does appear to be much controversy over what these "normal" values are as they do vary slightly depending upon where you are researching this info.
-----
No, it is not normal. As the above poster state every lab determines its own normal range and so there will be some variation in exactly where the cut off will be. However, 9.6 will be listed as abnormally high from any lab. The TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is the brain's signal to control how much hormone the thyroid puts out so a high level implies low thyroid function (the brain is asking for more).
Interestingly, while every lab would list that as abnormal, and most doctors would give thyroid hormone in response, studies suggest that most people do not feel symptoms or benefit from treatment until it is above 10.
The pituitary gland hangs from a stalk from the inferior surface of the hypothalamus of the brain.
A relatively rare life-threatening condition caused by exaggerated hyperthyroidism?
Graves' Disease.
It is the most common cause of Hyperthyrodism and Goiter.
Graves' Disease causes toxic Goiter which than ]will present with symptoms of thyrotoxicosis such as palpitations, hyperactivity, weight loss despite increased appetite, and heat intolerance.
The pancreas.
The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates. It produces insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin which regulate blood sugar
The pancreas. beta cells secrete insulin which decreases blood glucose. and alpha cells secrete glucagon that increase glucagon.
Pancreas
Why do you need both biceps and triceps to move the lower arm up and down at the elbow?
Because muscles can not push, they can only pull (contract). So while your biceps contract to pull the arm up into a flexed position; the triceps are necessary to pull the arm back down into an extended position. Skeletal muscles or groups of skeletal muscles must work in pairs. These pairs are called "antagonistic" muscles; while one group is contracting, the other group is relaxing.
You can easily feel this action in your arm. With your right arm extended, place you left hand on your right biceps. Flex your arm (as if to make a big muscle) and you will feel the biceps brachii tighten and bulge somewhat; we are familiar with this. Now, place your left hand on your triceps and straighten the right arm completely (extra straight) and you should be able to feel the triceps brachii tighten. Although aided by gravity, the triceps MUST contract to straighten the arm.
What does it mean if your TSH level is 1.52?
A normal TSH varies from person to person. But the range that is typically followed by most doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum. Therefore, a 1.26 falls well within the normal range. Make sure to talk with your doctor about the results, especially if you are experiencing any symptoms.
Yes, absolutely! Even when using the older measurements TSH 0.3 - 5.0, that is exceptionally high
What happens to the endocrine system when the person is scared?
Adrenal hormones control your body when you get scared.
How are hormones important in cellular communication?
By bind with specific receptors, the hormones are able to regulate reproduction, development, energy metabolism, growth, and behavior. The reason why it is important that these functions be activated through hormones (a signaling molecule) is because there is an exact time that these functions need to happen. A caterpillar can't start changing into a butterfly if it hasn't finished its cacoon yet.

How do you activate your spit glands?
You cannot voluntarily activate your spit glands. When you put food in your mouth, they automatically begin to produce saliva to aid in the digestion of food. Sometimes just thinking about eating food can allow them to produce saliva.
