produces steroid hormones and an inner medulla. The Thymus Gland - A lymphoid organ situated in the neck of vertebrates that produces T cells for the immune system. The human thymus becomes much smaller at the approach of puberty. The Pituitary Gland - The pituitary gland is a pea-sized ...
thymus gland, thymus - a ductless glandular organ at the base of the neck that produces lymphocytes and aids in producing immunity; atrophies with age hypophysis, pituitary, pituitary body, pituitary gland - the master gland of the endocrine system; located at the base of the brain adenohypophy...
Which is a chemical messenger that is transported by the bloodstream and alters physiological responses in cells of another distant tissue or organ? hormone What are the two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary gland? oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone ...
Target organ responses to beta-adrenergic stimulation in the heart and probably also in vascular smooth muscle decrease due to postreceptor changes. These effects contribute to the clinical problems of hypertension and orthostatic hypotension which characterize the elderly. Aging produces mild carbohydrate ...
What endocrine organ is considered the "master endocrine gland"? a. Thyroid gland b. Posterior pituitary gland c. Anterior pituitary gland d. Adrenal gland e. PancreasWhat gland of the endocrine and nervous system controls the other glands in the body?
The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in your body. If your endocrine system isn't healthy, you might have problems developing during puberty, gettin...
There is emerging evidence, however, that such targets can be expanded to effector enzymes of receptors because effector enzymes have multiple subtypes that differ in tissue distribution, and thus targeting such molecules may lead to organ-specific pharmacological regulation. An exam...
Endocrine sex hormones, due to their intricate and overlapping properties in both genders, are explained and discussed from a gender standpoint rather than by organ. Each of the sex hormones is expressed and active in both males and females; it is the levels and concentrations that help develop...
