Hormones

Enkephalins and endorphins are neuromodulators because they can influence the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain by interacting with specific receptors, altering the cell's response to those neurotransmitters. This modulation can result in changes in pain perception, mood, and overall brain function.

Yes, oxytocin plays a key role in milk ejection during breastfeeding. When a baby suckles, oxytocin is released from the brain, causing the muscles around the milk-producing cells to contract and push milk into the ducts for the baby to feed on.

This is a digestive hormone released with secretin when food from the stomach reaches the first part of the small intestine. It is made by some of the cells lining the first part of the small intestine.

When additional adrenaline is released, body functions such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, dilation of air passages in the lungs, increased glucose release from the liver, and improved blood flow to muscles are typically observed. These changes are part of the "fight or flight" response to help prepare the body to respond to perceived threats or stressors.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water balance in the body by controlling the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. Aldosterone regulates salt and water balance by increasing the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, which helps maintain blood pressure and electrolyte balance.

The ovaries are the main organ that secretes the hormone progesterone. It is primarily produced by the corpus luteum, which forms after ovulation. Progesterone plays a key role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct in the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion.

Insulin and glucagon are hormones produced in the pancreas that regulate blood glucose levels. Insulin helps lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by cells, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver.

It's a rather confusing concept when learning Anatomy especially since we know that BOTH increase your BV and H20 Levels so why does our urine output decrease? You must remember that these increase water re-absorption in your system, if your body is secreting less filtrate and re-absorbing more... You're going to have a decreased urine output.

Some hormones can get digested in the stomach, while others can't. Another example of one that has to be injected is insulin, although a powdered version that's inhaled is now available to bypass the stomach in a different way.

Its an indicator of congested heart failure.

contractions of the uterine muscles, helping to push the baby out of the mother's womb. Oxytocin also plays a role in promoting bonding between the mother and baby after birth, fostering maternal behavior and nurturing instincts.

Factors that increase the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) include dehydration, pain, stress, certain medications, and low blood pressure. ADH helps the body conserve water by reducing urine output when these factors are present.

Estradiol is a sex hormone responsible for reproductive and sexual functioning. It is predominantly a female sex hormone, although men do produce it in smaller quantities.

In women Estradiol is mostly produced by the Granulosa cells in the ovaries, the adrenal cortex also produces some Estradiol.

In men, the hormone is produced by the Testes.

The main site of aldosterone synthesis is in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone production is regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which responds to changes in blood pressure and electrolyte balance.

Hyposecretion of the follicle-stimulating hormone can cause issues with reproductive health, such as infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and problems with sperm production in men. It may also affect the development and maturation of eggs in women.

Prolactin is a pituitary hormone and is a glycoprotein

Yes, it produces hormones. for example FSH and LH- in a female body

Hope this helps! :D

Adrenaline also called as epinephrine and it increases the Heart rate and force of cardiac contraction.

adrenocorticoids are

Mineralocorticoid also called as Aldosterone released from zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex acts on late distal tunule, collecting tubule of the nephrons to increase the water reabsorption(facultative reabsorption)

glucocorticoids also called as Cortisol acts on liver to increase the glucoeogenesis to maintain glucose level in the blood

Renin is primarily synthesized and secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys. These cells are located in the afferent arterioles of the renal nephrons and play a key role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

No

Glucagon is a hormone produced by the alpha cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates gluconeogenesis in the liver and stimulates the release of FFA (free fatty acids) from TG (triglycerides) to use it as a fuel, instead of glucose, in the other two process of cellular respiration (Krebs Cycle and electron transport chain) to produce energy, by doing so, it conserves and produce glucose at the same time; therefore raising the blood sugar level when it is low.

It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) is secreted by endothelial cells in the cardiovascular system. It is secreted in particularly significant amounts in the lungs and kidneys. The lungs represent the largest capillary bed in the body and therefor are often cited as the primary site of ACE secretion.

The chemical formula of Pancreatic Polypeptide is C140H221N43O41.

Calcitonin is the hormone that works with parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps to lower blood calcium levels by promoting calcium deposition in bones.

Erythropoietin targets cells in the bone marrow called erythroid progenitor cells. These cells differentiate and proliferate in response to erythropoietin, leading to the production of red blood cells.
