Is thickening the endometrium the main function of progesterone during menstrual cycle?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, thickening of the uterine lining is one of the main functions of progesterone during the menstrual cycle, allowing the womb to build-up the uterine lining to support a fertilised egg. If pregnancy doesn't occur then it's the drop in progesterone that causes the uterine lining to break down.
What are 3 ways in which endocrine glands are stimulated to secrete their hormones?
Asked by Wiki User
Other hormones - hormones that stimulate the secretion of other hormones from endocrine glands are called tropic hormones. An example of this would be the secretion of human gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus. This hormone stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete follicle stimulating hormone (F SH) and luteurizing hormone (LH), two hormones particularly important in menstruation.
Nerve impulse conduction - when a nerve impulse reaches the end of the nerve axon, neurotransmitters are released. In many cases, these neurotransmitters can act as endocrine hormones. For example, in order to stimulate muscle contraction, a nerve impulse that reaches the axon of a nerve that directly contacts a muscle (i.e. a motor neuron), will stimulate the release of acetylcholine. The acetylcholine binds receptors on the muscle and it contracts.
Changes in concentration of extracellular ions or nutrients - many cells have molecules that can act as sensors of the extracellular environment, and changes in this environment can stimulate them to secrete hormones. A common example of this is the secretion of insulin or glucagon. If glucose concentration in the blood is high, insulin is secretes. If blood glucose is low, glucagon is secreted.
In addition, many hormones can be secreted in response to environmental stimuli like a change in heat or light. Often times this secretion is indirect and utilizes one of the previous mentioned mechanisms. However one example of a direct affect of the environment is the hormone melatonin. Melatonin helps regulate sleep/wake cycles and is produced by the pineal gland when directly stimulated by darkness (i.e. night)

What is the function of the neurotransmitter orexin in the brain?
Asked by Dirkhanson
Orexin has a key function in human neurology and physiology. It is a regulator in and around the hypothalamus which affects one's hunger, fatigue and general arousal. Though its quantity in our anatomy is far less than that of of other neurotransmitters, its role is no less important.

Are the effects of aldosterone and adh similar or antagonistic?
Asked by Wiki User
the effects are similar. Both hormones are Na+/H2O regulators in the kidneys, they just perform this function in different ways. ADH contros the H2O in our bodies and how much is released while aldosterone is in control of what is reabsorded.
Which are the ductless organs with cells that produce and release hormones?
Asked by Wiki User
Endocrine Glands are a type of ductless organ that produce hormones
When production of sex hormones increases what happens to bone growth?
Asked by Wiki User
When the production of sex hormones increases, both growth also increases. This is why, when a child hits puberty, they normally have a growth spurt.

Endocrine system
What stress hormone stimulates the body to make fat?
Asked by Wiki User
Taking in more calories than you're using up stimulates fat formation. If you're burning up what you eat, then you won't get fat.
What gland in the body produces insulin?
Asked by Wiki User
The Pancreas.
The pancreas is a large gland situated below and behind the stomach in the lower abdomen. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) through the pancreatic duct. The digestive enzymes in this juice help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Scattered among the cells that produce pancreatic juice are small groups of endocrine cells. These are called the Islets of Langerhans. They secrete two hormones, insulin and glucagon, which maintain blood glucose (sugar) levels.
Insulin is secreted in response to high glucose levels in the blood.
It lowers sugar levels in the blood by increasing the uptake of glucose into the tissues. Glucagon has the opposite effect. It causes the liver to transform the glycogen (a carbohydrate) it stores into glucose, which is then released into the blood.
