The endocrine system, comprised of a number of hormone-secreting glands, is vital to the functioning of the human body. In addition to its role in reproductive activity, the endocrine system regulates tissue growth, responses to injury and stress, and helps maintain necessary levels of chemicals throughout the body. This detailed volume carefully examines the major glands of the endocrine system as well as the consequences of its dysfunction and disorder.

This useful chart of The Endocrine System shows the location of glands on the body. Each gland is seperately illustrated and labeled and the hormones it secrets are listed.Shows the following glands:thyroidparathyroidthymusadrenalpinealpituitary Also includes the organs that have a secondary endocrine function producing and releasing hormones.

This book focuses on hormones, and on how they are produced in very diverse regions of the body in humans and animals. But hormones can be found not only in vertebrates, but also in insects, shellfish, spiders, mollusks, even at the origin of metazoan diversification and exhibit the same pathways of synthesis. The book addresses the different classes of hormones: protein/peptides hormones, steroids and juvenile hormones and hormones like catecholamines, thyroid hormones and melatonin. It also discusses the types of hormone receptors, the majority of which are heptahelical G-protein coupled receptors or nuclear receptors. Particular attention is paid to the organs where hormones are created, with specifics on hormonal production and release, while a dedicated chapter details hormonal regulation from very simple to highly complex schemes. The remarkable kinetics of hormones production are also shown, before the book is rounded out by chapters on evolution in the endocrine system, the genetics of endocrine diseases and doping.

This is one of a series of ten workbooks which are designed to supplement texts in anatomy and physiology, serving as a quick and efficient study review for nursing and allied health students, or to supplement other courses that cover the body's systems. Each book covers one system of the body, with this text looking at the endocrine system. The series consists of labelled images, accompanied by descriptive text and exercises.

There is great concern regarding the reproductive and health hazards of endocrine disruptors. Research indicates that men are experiencing declining fertility and an increased incidence of prostate cancer, while women are dealing with increased infertility, early menopause, and breast cancer. As new research reveals the previously unknown risks of these endocrine disruptors, it is imperative to update our knowledge of these controversial chemicals.Endocrine Disruptors: Effects on Male and Female Reproductive Systems, Second Edition examines the reproductive and health hazards of endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals from epidemiology to etiology, concluding with future directions. Divided into two sections, the first part of the book describes the effects of environmental toxicants on the female reproductive system, with an emphasis on the effects and mechanisms of their action on sex differentiation during development, fertility, and breast cancer. The second part addresses the effects of endocrine disruption on the male reproductive system, focusing on male fertility and the development of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.Leading authorities contribute expert analyses and up-to-date information on a topic that has become a major concern among the scientific community and the general public. This second edition supplies the most current, critical knowledge on the real risks that endocrine disruptors pose to the population.

This volume marks the coming of age of knowledge concerning the neural and endocrine biology of the gut. It is the first volume in the Handbook of Physiology to be devoted entirely to this field. It is also the very first volume ever published that deals systematically with the biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, and physiology of hormonal and neural peptides of the gut. Written by some forty recognized experts, Neural and Endocrine Biology details the discoveries of a field that is now just twenty-five years old. The early chapters address general topics and provide a broad overview of the field, including information on immunocytochemistry of endocrine cells and enteric neurons and the physiological significance of hormonal, paracrine, and neural peptides. Fourteen of the volume's twenty-eight chapters are devoted to individual hormonal and neural peptides--their distribution, pharmacology, and physiological and cellular functions. The final chapter offers an overview of recently discovered peptides, including pancreastatin and two neural peptides, galanin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Neural and Endocrine Biology will be a welcome new resource for graduate students, instructors, and active researchers and clinicians who need a complete, up-to-date reference in regulatory peptides and gastrointestinal physiology and pharmacology.
