Document Summary
Many other things in the physiome including aspects to the ccn (i. e. neurodevelopment and immunity) Sex hormones are all similar looking chemical structures with slight differences that bind to specific receptors. Signaling pathway: hypothalamus nervous signal ghrh (neurohormone growth hormone releasing hormone) anterior pituitary gland gh liver, bone and muscle. Liver then secretes igf-1 which goes into the bone and muscle as well. If the feedback system is unbalanced, you get either extreme height or extreme lack of height. At a certain age, (20ish) bones fuse together and stop reacting to growth hormones. Stimulation posterior pituitary gland ot (oxytocin) is secreted by many neurons breast and many other effects. Also thought to create warm fuzzy pro- family feelings in brain. Blood calcium and blood glucose: 2 balance systems. Insulin decreases blood glucose, glucagon increases blood glucose. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium, parathyroid hormone increases blood calcium. Where do hormones come from: endocrine glands (ex.
