Endocrine system
Have you heard some stories about a person lifting huge
objects during earthquakes or when their houses are burning? Well, that is
called Adrenalin Rush which is cause by, of course, adrenaline. Adrenalin is
part of the Endocrine system and this system has lots of amazing things to know
about. Endocrine system is composed of lots and lots of hormones which controls
and manages most of our body changes, reproduction and emotions. So maybe if
you are mad, you should blame your Endocrine system!
The woman in this picture has Cretinism which caused her to have less mental ability, might be sterile and to be retarded. Cretinism is caused by the not enough thyroid hormone and there are lots of people having this because of lack of iodine in the diet.
Endocrine
system controls the hormones in our body, which is responsible for the growth,
development, behavior and reproduction of the body. The organs that are
included in this system are the thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, pituitary
gland, pancreas, adrenal gland and the gonads. Each of the glands has different
works in the system; for example like the thyroid gland is responsible of the
metabolism in the body. There are also hormones that are artificial and can
also help the body’s function. Example of this is the anabolic steroid, it
helps make the muscles to increased its size. But these artificial drugs can
harm a person’s health.
Acromagaly is caused by a tumor that is not cancerous in the pituitary gland. It can be diagnose by many ways, one of the diagnosis that can be done is the Pituitary MRI, which observes the tumor in the pituitary.
The
Endocrine system works with lots of the systems in our body but, here are some
examples of the systems; the Reproductive system and the Skeletal system.
Hormones from the reproductive organs are used by our body to change during
puberty. These hormones change the appearance and the characteristics of the
person during puberty. The relation between the Skeletal system and the
Endocrine system is connected to the hormone called growth hormone. When a
person has less or more growth hormone, there will be a probability of them to
have Dwarfism or Giantism. These disorders are caused either by inheritance or
abnormality in the cells
