How do the circulatory and endocrine systems work together?
The secreations (hormones) of the endocrine system are secreted into the blood through which they travel to the active site or organ.
better answer: releasing hormones and transporting them to the cells of the body The circulatory system works with endocrine so as to forge production and distribution of hormones. The two systems are interdependent in their functions.
The endocrine system sand the cardiovascular system works together to send signals to your brain when you are running away or in danger to think fast..
The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system(blood).

What are major parts of the endocrine system?
The Major parts of the endocrine system are hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathoid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and testes.
If hormones travel in the bloodstream why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?
The tissue/cells need a receptor that can interact with that hormone in order to respond to it. This receptor may be on a cell membrane, inside the cell, or even inside the nucleus (in the case of steroid hormones, for example.)
Like many organic chemicals in the body, they have structures which result in certain parts of the molecule being presented to cells (active sites). Because cells and tissue have different structures as well, only certain cells will react to the presence of a particular hormone.
Many hormones have antagonist hormones that cause an opposite effect. This helps control negative feedback when the target organ's hormone levels are too high.
Can having only one adrenal gland make you tired?
Yes, we have 2 adrenal glands and most people have no problems at all (or any need for medications) if one of them is removed.
What does the pituitairy gland do?
It regulates growth, blood pressure, body temperature, water balance, sex organ function, and breast milk production.
What does FSH mean on a military Leave Earning Statement?
Family Separation Housing (FSH) which used to be known as Family Separation Allowance (FSA)
Can a person release adrenaline on their own?
No. Adrenaline is released in response to the autonomic nervous system. 'Autonomic' indicating that it is an automatic process regulated by the body and is not under voluntary control. Other components of the nervous system, such as the somatic nervous system, are able to be voluntarily controlled. Adrenaline release is regulated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
Adrenaline is released in response to various stimuli such as: exercise, stress, fear, decreased blood pressure (including blood loss), and more.
B.) Yes , there are some few people in the world have it they can release a small amount on their own but not like when they are in fear or rush.
What is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?
the difference between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism is:
Hyperthyroidism is the over secretion of Thyroxine while Hypothyroidism is the under secretion of Thyroxine.
What does multilobular area of uptake within the thyroid bed mean?
Breaking down Multilobular area of uptake within the thyroid bed means the amount of radiation in the many lobes of the thyroid bed. The higher the uptake of tracer the faster the metabolism indicates hot spots for concern.
Do prostiglandins help regulate the responses of hormones?
I know for aboslute SURE... Estrogen, Progesterone, and Oxytocin. YAY! I got 'em all! neonat :D
Can a 12 year old girl have thyroid problems?
Yes.... I'm 12 and just recenly found out in a hypoglicemic and that I have a thyroid problem....very hard 2 deal with
Does the thyroid produce parathyroid hormone?
No, parathyroid hormone is produced by the four parathyroid glands which are located on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland.
What is the function of the andrenal gland?
The adrenal glands are comprised of two parts--the cortex and medulla--that produce hormones (chemicals messengers that regulate body functions). The medulla, or inner part of the adrenal glands, produces the hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine, which regulate the "fight or flight" response in the body, the body's reaction to stressful events. The cortex, the outer portion of the adrenal glands, produces several hormones that affect blood pressure and blood sugar levels, growth, as well as some sexual characteristics

Why is gigantism usually more difficult to treat than dwarfism?
some forms of dwarfism are caused by a hormone insufficiency, which can be partially treated by providing the patient with the hormone (growth hormone). in gigantism instead, there is overproduction of this hormone, which can't be put in normal range.
