Endocrine System

The digestive system features lumen in the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption is the passage of digested end products from the lumen of the GI tract through the mucosal cells into the blood or lymph.

When you feel proud, your body releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is linked to feelings of pleasure and reward. Dopamine is involved in the brain's reward system and plays a role in reinforcing certain behaviors or emotions.

Hormone therapy for "converting" gay people is completely ineffective, unethical, and illegal in some states. Unscrupulous doctors will give estrogen treatments to a man, causing him to feel less like having sex. However, it is dangerous, ineffective and has side effects (heightened voice, breast enlargement, etc.)

Cerumen (earwax) is a mixture of viscous secretions from sebaceous glands and less-viscous ones from modified apocrine sweat glands. See link below for more information.

No, Cowper's glands do not contain sperm. Cowper's glands, also known as bulbourethral glands, produce a clear fluid that helps to lubricate the urethra and neutralize acidity in the urethra prior to ejaculation.

Thew answer is probably just as complicated as the disorder. The main problem with an eating disorder is malnourishment. Since the endocrine system needs good nutrition to make its hormones and the nervous system needs calcium, and many other compounds, to keep it healthy and functioning, what happens to a person with an eating disorder is that the two main communication systems in the body begin to have a harder time controlling homeostasis. When homeostasis declines, all body systems are affected. The body generally starts withering away. This happens in anorexia nervosa/bulimia as well as alcoholism.

Imaganation can be good for the time being to help strenthen the mind. Imitation can help relate things to your child to help him better understand things. This stratagy works best the younger your child is. The older they are, the more in touch they are with reality, and they probably won't like their imginary friend any more.

I am 30 years old and have been using hgh for a month to help get over cosmetic surgery i am about to start a higher dose this week for fat loss so i can prepare to compete. I myself have had no side effects not even a headache so i feel that if you do the reserch on it and use it correctly it is very safe i am under a doctors supervision so i would proberly suggest you do that so you know you are getting what you paid for as it is very expensive hope i helped T

In massage, Bowditch's law means that the intensity of the stimulus must exceed a certain threshold in order to elicit a response from the nervous system. In practical terms, this means that the pressure applied during the massage must be sufficient to generate a neurological response, such as relaxation or pain relief, in the client. If the pressure is too light, the nervous system may not register the stimulus.

Tropic hormones are named for their action on other endocrine glands. Their primary function is to stimulate the secretion of hormones by target glands in a sequence known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axis. These hormones regulate the activity of other endocrine glands and help maintain homeostasis in the body.

Yes. Progesterone is an organic catalyst (a protein). It is a hormone created by our bodies.

Increased amount of light would inhibit the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening in response to darkness, signaling the body that it is time to sleep.

The substance produced by the cells of all endocrine glands that helps maintain homeostasis is called hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that are released into the bloodstream and travel to target cells to regulate various physiological processes in the body.

The gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary produce gonadotropin hormone (GTH), which includes follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones play a crucial role in the regulation of the reproductive system.

Plant hormones affect how plants grow. Unlike animal hormones, plant hormones are organic molecules. They aid in plant growth and survival. Cellular events like division and cell morphology are driven by hormone levels. In plants, meristematic tissue is composed of cells that are actively growing. This is where one is expected to find a relatively large concentration of plant hormones. Also, one will find higher hormone levels in root tips

Auxin speeds up growth on one side of the plant. The flowers lean toward the sunlight.

Cytokinin stimulates the growth of roots and is added to the tips of cuttings before planting to increase the likelihood of them rooting.

Essentially, it tricks the plant into thinking it is dying or being destroyed. The plant then protects itself by generating roots. Of course, this is the most simplified explanation. Think of it as a sort of chemical chain reaction within the plant for self-preservation. This is probably the easiest way to explain it without getting too technical.

Each hormone is a signal for the cell, that a specific chemical reaction must be done.

As the molecules of hormones attach to cell receptors, adenylyl cyclase (transmembrane protein) is activated. Activated Adenylyl cyclase modifies ATP to form cyclic adenine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP then activates various enzymes that catalyse the necessary reaction. Therefore, cAMP is an intermedium between the hormone and the result (chemical reaction).

Insulin pen is like having an old-fashioned cartridge pen in your pocket, instead of a writing point, a needle, and for ink cartridge, an insulin cartridge. You just turn a dial to measure out your dose.

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is synthesized in the hypothalamus and then transported to the posterior pituitary gland for storage and release. Oxytocin is also synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland.

An example of a disease that affects the endocrine system could be hypothyroidism or diabetes.

According to my text book, "The sebaceous glands become particularly active during puberty when more male hormones (androgens) begin to be produced; thus the skin tends to become oilier during this period of life." Human A&P Lab. Manual by Marieb and Mitchell, 8th edition, pg 98.

So I think it is sebaceous glands.

Deficiency refers to a lack or insufficiency of something that is required for proper functioning or health. It can apply to various aspects such as essential nutrients in the body, resources, or skills needed to accomplish a task.

A hypodense lesion is one that is darker than the surrounding tissue on ultrasound. The clinical significance, if any, will be determined by considering your radiology findings in conjunction with the history and physical.

Thyroid cancer is generally associated with very high survival rates. The prognosis for thyroid cancer is often favorable, with the majority of patients surviving the disease. Survival rates can vary depending on the specific type and stage of thyroid cancer. Here are some general survival rate statistics:

Papillary Thyroid Cancer: Papillary thyroid cancer, the most common type, has a high survival rate. The 5-year relative survival rate for localized papillary thyroid cancer is approximately 99%, meaning that almost all patients with localized disease are alive 5 years after diagnosis. Even for regional (spread to nearby lymph nodes) or distant (metastatic) disease, the 5-year survival rate remains relatively high at around 93%.

Follicular Thyroid Cancer: Follicular thyroid cancer also has favorable survival rates. The 5-year relative survival rate for localized disease is approximately 97%. For regional disease, it's about 86%, and for distant disease, it's around 67%.

Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Medullary thyroid cancer has slightly lower survival rates compared to papillary and follicular types. For localized disease, the 5-year relative survival rate is around 98%. For regional disease, it's about 89%, and for distant disease, it drops to approximately 41%.

Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer: Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer, and survival rates are much lower. The 5-year relative survival rate for this type is generally less than 10%, and many cases are fatal.
