The control of the mammalian body is based on a number of mechanisms that rely on continual monitoring of the internal milieu and constant feedback. Part of these mechanisms are described in Chapter5 (Head and Sense), Chapter8 (Feeding and Digestive System), and Chapter9 (Urinary System and...
What is the major control center of the ANS(autonomic nervous system) and how does it function? Autonomic Nervous System (ANS): The peripheral nervous system comprises the autonomic nervous system, which is tasked with the regulation of involuntary processes such as sexua...
The Endocrine system is a system of glands also called endocrine organs which secret hormones into the bloodstream that control and regulate body function. Hormones regulate cell metabolism by accelerating, slowing, or maintaining enzyme activity in receptor cells....

Endocrine system is the system of glands that secrete chemicals called hormones in blood. Sometime this gland does not function well so the level of their hormones increases or decreases. If it is low it is called hypofunction and if is high-hyprefunction. This hormone has their target organs...

a system determines the behavior (the output or performance) as a function of the input (the disturbance). Formal sensitivity analysis allows the investigation of robustness and fragility properties of mathematical models, yielding local properties with respect to a particular choice of parameter values...
Such a scenario was dramatically enriched by the identification of a growing number of molecules (i.e., angiotensin II, adrenomedullin, ghrelin, neuropeptide Y, etc.) which, produced by the heart, exert endocrine/paracrine/autocrine cardiac actions. More recently, chromogranin-A (CgA) and its ...
All animal experiments were performed with the approval of the Animal Ethics Committee of the Institute of Medical Science, the University of Tokyo, the Experimental Animal Care and Use Committee of the National Institute of Neuroscience, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, and the Institution...
Energy expenditure and energy intake need to be balanced to maintain proper energy homeostasis. Energy homeostasis is tightly regulated by the central nervous system, and the hypothalamus is the primary center for the regulation of energy balance. The hy
