The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The main endocrine glands are the pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. Hyperpituitarism is caused by excess secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland, often due to a pituitary adenoma. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland overproduces thyroid hormones, leading to high levels of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in the bloodstream.
Circulatory system of insects
The circulatory system of insects is open and consists of hemolymph that bathes the organs rather than being contained in vessels. The main circulatory organ is the dorsal vessel, a tube located along the midline that functions like a heart to circulate the hemolymph. Hemolymph carries nutrients and wastes but does not transport oxygen. Accessory pulsatile organs help circulate hemolymph to appendages and tissues.
Endocrine (chapter 11)
The document discusses the endocrine system and polydipsia. The endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate the body. Polydipsia is a medical symptom where a patient experiences excessive thirst.
Endocrine system
The endocrine system maintains homeostasis in the body through glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Imbalances in hormone production can cause issues like acromegaly, dwarfism, goiter, or heart failure. Specific conditions result from too little or too much of certain hormones, such as polyuria from a lack of antidiuretic hormone and hypercalcemia from excess parathyroid hormone.
Endocrine system
The document summarizes the key roles and functions of the endocrine system. It explains that the hypothalamus monitors body conditions and signals the pituitary gland if changes are needed. The pituitary gland is the "master gland" that then signals other endocrine glands to produce hormones in response. The hormones travel through the bloodstream and target specific cells and tissues to regulate processes like metabolism, growth, reproduction, and stress response. The document provides details on the hormones produced by the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes, adrenal glands, and pineal gland and their functions in controlling processes such as blood sugar levels, calcium regulation, sexual development, and the fight

The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate the body. In contrast, the exocrine system secretes chemicals through ducts. Secretion is the process by which cells and glands produce and release substances like enzymes and hormones. The gastrointestinal tract, lungs, sebaceous glands, and meibomian glands are some tissues that secrete chemicals in humans. Thirst is a sensation associated with craving water and is an essential mechanism for fluid balance triggered by a lack of fluids or increase in osmolites like salt. Excess thirst can indicate medical conditions like diabetes.

Endocrine system mine for 4th
The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate functions like growth and development, metabolism, and sexual behavior. Key glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, and gonads. Hormones travel through the bloodstream to target organs and tissues to slow down or speed up their activities, maintaining homeostasis in the body. Examples include insulin regulating blood sugar from the pancreas and testosterone influencing sexual maturation from the testes. Disorders can result if hormones are deficient or in excess, such as diabetes from low insulin or hyperthyroidism from overactive thyroid function.
Powerpoint endocrine system
The endocrine system regulates glands and hormones that control various bodily functions. Key hormones discussed include adrenaline, which is released during stress to increase blood glucose and prepare the body to fight or flee; insulin and glucagon, which are produced by the pancreas and work via negative feedback to maintain blood glucose levels within a narrow range by stimulating glucose storage or release from the liver.
autonomic nervous system(ANS)
The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary body functions and is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system prepares the body for fight or flight through responses like increased heart rate and dilated pupils. The parasympathetic system acts to conserve energy and return the body to homeostasis with effects like constricted pupils and increased digestion. Both systems work in opposition, with the sympathetic stimulating functions like heartbeat while the parasympathetic slows it.
A rahman
The document summarizes the endocrine system and its major glands. It discusses how the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary gland work together to secrete antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. It also explains how the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland interact via releasing and inhibiting hormones to regulate hormones like ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH and prolactin. Additionally, it describes the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and how they secrete insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels. Finally, it provides overviews of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, testes and ovaries and their key hormonal functions.
circulatory sysytem of insects
The circulatory system of insects is open and transports nutrients, waste, and aids in defense. It consists of a hemocoel body cavity and a dorsal vessel heart tube. The hemocoel is divided into three sinuses by diaphragms. Blood flows through ostia into the dorsal vessel which pumps it through the body during systole and diastole. Accessory pulsatile organs help circulate blood to appendages. Phagocytic organs filter the hemolymph. Blood moves posterior to anterior via peristalsis through the hemocoel sinuses and organs before returning to the heart.
Fetal Physiology By Abdul Qahar
The document summarizes fetal circulation and development. Key points:
1. Fetal circulation involves three shunts that allow oxygenated blood to bypass the lungs and flow directly to the left side of the heart and brain.
2. After birth, the shunts close off and the circulation transitions to the adult pattern with blood flowing through the lungs.
3. Fetal organs develop throughout gestation, with the liver and bone marrow taking over hematopoiesis and the pancreas responding to changes in blood sugar with insulin production.
6chapter39
The endocrine system is made up of glands that release hormones into the bloodstream. Hormones affect target cells that have receptors for that hormone and can take minutes to days to have their full effect. There are two main types of glands: exocrine glands that release secretions through ducts and endocrine glands that release directly into the bloodstream. The pituitary gland controls the functions of other endocrine glands like the thyroid, which regulates metabolism, and the adrenals, which help the body deal with stress. Feedback mechanisms help regulate hormone levels to maintain homeostasis.
Endocrine system
The endocrine system is a messenger system comprising feedback loops of the hormones released by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the neural control center for all endocrine systems.

The document describes the morphology, anatomy, and reproductive system of stingrays. It notes that stingrays have a flat, rounded body covered in placoid scales, with the mouth located ventrally and anus posteriorly. Their anatomy includes a digestive tract with liver and pancreas opening into the duodenum, 5 pairs of gills emptied by the ventral aorta, and a two-chambered heart that pumps blood to the ventral aorta and dorsal aorta. Males have a clasper for internal fertilization, while females have ovaries near the anterior abdomen and an oviduct to release developing embryos to swim.
Fetal physio - anakandy
The document summarizes fetal and neonatal physiology related to circulation and respiration. It discusses how the fetus gets oxygen from the mother's blood through the placenta via simple diffusion down a partial pressure gradient. The fetus's blood has adaptations like fetal hemoglobin that enhance oxygen delivery. As the fetus grows, its increasing oxygen needs are met through a higher uterine blood flow from the mother, more fetal blood flow to the placenta, and fetal adaptations in hemoglobin and cardiovascular structure. At birth, the fetal circulation transitions as the placenta is detached and lungs expand, allowing pulmonary circulation to increase while structures like the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale close.

Edexcel IGCSE Human Biology - Chapter 06 - Chemical Coordination
The document discusses several endocrine glands and hormones, including:
- The thyroid gland, which produces thyroxine to regulate metabolic rate. Thyroxine increases oxygen consumption and protein synthesis.
- The pancreas, which produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood glucose levels through a negative feedback system. Insulin lowers blood glucose while glucagon raises it.
- The adrenal glands, which produce adrenaline during stressful situations to trigger the fight or flight response through various physiological effects.
Foetal circulation ppt
The normal fetal circulation involves oxygenated blood from the placenta traveling to the fetus through the umbilical vein. Deoxygenated blood returns to the placenta through the umbilical arteries. At birth, the placenta is replaced by the lungs as the organ of gas exchange. The ductus venosus, foramen ovale, and ductus arteriosus close due to changes in blood flow and oxygen levels, redirecting circulation through the lungs.
Endocrine system
The endocrine system includes glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The major glands are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland, which is called the "master gland" as it regulates the activity of other glands by producing hormones like TSH, ACTH, FSH, and LH. Other glands like the thyroid, adrenals, and gonads produce hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and sexual development and functions.
Fetal circulation
The fetal circulation involves blood flow from the placenta through the umbilical vein to the fetus, and returning oxygen-depleted blood to the placenta through the umbilical arteries. Three key shunts exist in the fetal circulation: the ductus venosus, ductus arteriosus, and foramen ovale. At birth, clamping of the umbilical cord and inflation of the lungs causes structural and functional changes, closing the shunts and transitioning circulation to the neonatal pattern with left-to-right blood flow and lung-based gas exchange.
Circulatory system of frog
A frog's circulatory system has three chambers - one ventricle and two atria. Deoxygenated blood enters one atrium from the body and oxygenated blood enters the other atrium from the lungs. The single ventricle then pumps this mixed blood out through the truncus arteriosus to circulate through the body and lungs before returning to the heart, making it a closed double loop system. Though the blood mixes somewhat, valves help direct the blood flows to minimize mixing and supply the tissues with sufficient oxygen.

Thyroid parathyroid kinara
Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are disorders caused by excess or deficiency of thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism causes symptoms of hypermetabolism like weight loss, heat intolerance, palpitations and anxiety. Hypothyroidism causes symptoms of slowed metabolism like fatigue, cold intolerance, dry skin and constipation. Both disorders affect multiple body systems and can be treated with medications, radioactive iodine or surgery to restore normal thyroid function.
Endocrine system.pptx
The endocrine system uses hormones to regulate important bodily processes like reproduction, growth, metabolism, and homeostasis. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands and circulated in the bloodstream to target organs. There are different types of hormones including proteins, peptides, steroids, and prostaglandins. Hormones bind to receptors on target cells and elicit responses like changes in cell permeability or protein synthesis. The levels of hormones in the bloodstream are maintained through a negative feedback loop where high hormone levels signal the glands to stop releasing more hormones.
Back up questions
The document discusses various topics related to endocrinology including:
- Emil Theodor Kocher studied goiter and thyroid dysfunction.
- The adrenal or thyroid gland derives the maximum blood supply per gram of tissue.
- Glucose infusion in adrenal insufficiency can lead to high fever known as glucose fever.
- β-endorphin is an opioid peptide produced by the pituitary gland.
Thyroid gland dr. faeza patho
- Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland, ophthalmopathy, and dermopathy. It results from autoantibodies that stimulate the TSH receptor, causing hyperplasia of thyroid follicles.
- Hypothyroidism can be primary or secondary. Primary hypothyroidism is most often caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis or iatrogenic ablation. It causes a hypometabolic state. Long-term untreated hypothyroidism in infants can cause cretinism, with impaired growth and mental retardation.
H.1 homestasis summary
The document discusses homeostasis and control systems in the human body. It explains that various internal variables like blood sugar, body temperature, and pH levels must stay within certain ranges to maintain homeostasis. When changes occur internally or externally, feedback systems work to regulate monitors, coordinating centers, and regulators to return levels to the normal range. Negative feedback is the most common type of response that works to reverse changes, while positive feedback reinforces changes. Multiple organ systems interact together to continuously monitor and adjust conditions to uphold homeostasis.
Pituitary
The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain and is composed of an anterior and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe secretes hormones that regulate other endocrine glands, while the posterior lobe stores and releases hormones from the hypothalamus. The pituitary is linked to and regulated by the hypothalamus via the pituitary stalk. It plays a central role in feedback systems controlling many physiological processes.

- Neurons have specialized properties including excitability, conduction, transmission, integration, and plasticity.
- Resting potentials are maintained by ion pumps that exchange sodium, potassium, and calcium ions across membranes. Action potentials occur when voltage-gated sodium channels open.
- At synapses, action potentials trigger the release of neurotransmitters which bind to receptors and generate postsynaptic potentials that are integrated in the cell.
- Through plasticity, the strengths of synapses can change through various molecular mechanisms over time based on neural activity. This integration of synaptic inputs determines neuronal firing.
HISTOLOGY OF ADRENAL GLANDS
The adrenal glands secrete both steroid hormones and catecholamines. They are located above the kidneys and have two distinct regions - the cortex and medulla. The cortex lies beneath the capsule and secretes steroid hormones. The medulla lies deep to the cortex and secretes catecholamines. Although embryologically distinct, the cortex and medulla are functionally related.
Pituitary gland- Anatomy, histology and embryology
The pituitary gland is a pea-sized structure located in the sella tursica bone that is connected to the hypothalamus by the pituitary stalk. It is made up of the anterior and posterior lobes. The anterior lobe secretes hormones that control other endocrine glands while the posterior lobe stores and releases hormones involved in water balance and milk release. During development, the pituitary forms from an invagination in the roof of the mouth called Rathke's pouch. Disorders of the pituitary can result in too much or too little hormone secretion and impact growth, metabolism and other functions.

- The thyroid is one of the earliest endocrine organs to develop. It is located in the neck and weighs 15-25 grams.
- Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is characterized by the triad of thyrotoxicosis, ophthalmopathy, and dermopathy due to autoantibodies that mimic TSH.
- Hypothyroidism is most commonly caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltration and antibody production. Clinical manifestations range from mild to
HISTOLOGY OF ADRENAL GLAND & CORRELATION WITH FUNCTION
The adrenal gland has an outer cortex and inner medulla. The cortex is divided into three concentric zones - the zona glomerulosa secretes mineralocorticoids, the zona fasiculata secretes glucocorticoids, and the zona reticulari secretes androgens. The medulla contains chromaffin cells that secrete catecholamines such as epinephrine. Diseases can result from insufficient or excessive secretion from the cortex or medulla.

Anatomy of endocrine system
The document discusses the endocrine system and different types of glands. There are three types of glands: exocrine glands which secrete products into ducts like sweat and salivary glands; endocrine glands which secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands; and heterocrine glands. The pituitary gland and hypothalamus work together to regulate growth, metabolism, and other bodily functions through the release of hormones. The pituitary has an anterior and posterior lobe; the anterior lobe secretes hormones that target various organs and tissues while the posterior lobe stores and releases oxytocin and vasopressin which are produced in the hypothalamus

4-Anatomy of endocrine system (1).pdf
The document provides an overview of the endocrine system, including its major glands and hormones. It describes the hypothalamus and pituitary gland as the "command center" that regulates other endocrine glands. The major glands discussed are the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal glands. Each gland's location, tissue composition, blood supply, and key hormones secreted are summarized. The pituitary gland is described in most depth due to its central role in the endocrine system.
Endocrine system
The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a small gland located at the base of the brain. It is divided into three lobes - the anterior, intermediate, and posterior lobes. The anterior lobe secretes hormones that regulate other endocrine glands like the thyroid, while the posterior lobe stores and releases hormones important for water balance and childbirth. The pituitary is attached to the hypothalamus and receives signals that stimulate or inhibit hormone release to maintain homeostasis. Diseases of the pituitary can disrupt hormone levels throughout the body.
GLANDS and respiratory system.pptx
The document discusses endocrine glands and the endocrine system. It defines endocrine glands as ductless glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. It then provides details on the major endocrine glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. For each gland it identifies the major hormones produced and their influences on the body.
Endocrine System~1
The endocrine system includes glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a small oval gland that acts as a "master gland" by controlling other endocrine glands. It is divided into the anterior and posterior lobes. The anterior lobe secretes hormones that stimulate other glands. The posterior lobe stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus, including oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone. These hormones work to regulate water balance, labor, lactation, and other processes.

Humanexcretorysystem1 140919102039-phpapp02
The human excretory system removes waste from the body. Organisms like sponges, jellyfish, and sea urchins release waste via diffusion, while others have specialized excretory organs. In humans, the kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine, which is removed by the ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys contain millions of nephrons that filter the blood, reabsorb useful molecules, and excrete urine containing nitrogenous wastes. Proper excretion and regulation of water is vital for homeostasis in the body.
Gland
The document discusses human exocrine and endocrine glands. It defines glands and describes the two main types - exocrine and endocrine. Exocrine glands release their secretions through ducts, while endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream. Several major exocrine and endocrine glands are then described in detail, including their locations, secretions, and functions.

Chapter17 endopart1marieb
The endocrine system chapter discusses the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and parathyroid glands. The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland which produces hormones that control other endocrine glands. The thyroid gland produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine which regulate metabolism. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone which regulates blood calcium levels.
Anatomy Lab exercise 19
This document provides an overview of the major endocrine glands and their functions. It describes how the hypothalamus and pituitary gland regulate hormone production and release from other glands like the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, gonads and more. Key hormones are identified for each gland along with their roles in processes like metabolism, growth, reproduction and maintaining homeostasis. Histology slides are also included to illustrate the cellular structure of the different endocrine tissues.
Endocrine gland
The document discusses endocrine glands, specifically the endocrine gland. It defines endocrine glands as groups of secretory cells surrounded by an extensive network of capillaries that facilitates the diffusion of hormones directly into the bloodstream. Some key endocrine glands discussed include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and hypothalamus. The pituitary gland regulates other endocrine glands and is divided into the posterior and anterior pituitary. The hypothalamus produces hormones that regulate the anterior pituitary. The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones that increase metabolism.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
