sleep cycles, temperature, blood pressure, and more. These functions are essential to keep the body in homeostasis, which is the state of being steady and balanced. To control homeostasis, the brain talks to the body with the help of chemical messengers called hormones. Hormones travel through ...
Spermatogenesis is hormonally regulated by negative feedback involving the hypothalamus, pituitary, and testes. The hormones involved in the control of the sperm formation process are: Testosterone is secreted by cells located in the testis called Leydig or interstitial cells. Among many other functions...
How are electrical impulses sent to the body? How does oxygen enter a living macrophage? Why do hormones travel in the blood? How do the digestive and circulatory system work together? How does the integumentary system work with the circulatory system? How does the circulatory system work with...

The transcriptome of regenerating cells prior to stem cell activation resembles that of an embryonic root progenitor. Regeneration defects are more severe in embryonic than in adult root mutants. Furthermore, the signaling domains of the hormones auxin and cytokinin mirror their embryonic dynamics and ...
What triggers the release of all these stored fatty acids from the fat cell? Simple: When your body needs energy because you're consuming fewer calories than you are burning (an energy deficit), then your body releases hormones and enzymes that signal your fat cells to release your fat ...
