HORMONES: Secretions of Endocrine Glands
Hormones are chemical substances secreted by endocrine glands in response to various stimuli (both internal and external). They circulate in the bloodstream and exert their effects on certain organs known as target organs. These effects may be to
speed up (excite)
slow down (inhibit), or
alter
the activities of the target organs. A few hormones like thyroxin and growth hoemones exert their effects on all body cells. Thus, a hormone is usually define as a chemical messenger that is produced in one part of organs and bring about a specific effect in target organs some distance away.
Many hormones are involved in homeostatic processes, i.e. processes that maintain a constant internal enviroment. Some hormones control growth and devopment. A hormone may exert its effects on more than one organ at a time.
Normally, body responses to hormones are fairly slow, from a few hours to some days. Some body responses, like those occur during growth, sexual maturity and pregnancy, take months and years. An exception, however, is adrenaline which brings rapid body responses. The body only needs small amount of hormones to bring about their effects. These amount in blood are regulated by feedback mechanisms. All hormones are inactibated in the liver and excreted in urine, some within minutes, others within days. Hormones concerned with bringing about long-term effects are secreated continuously to maintain constant level. Serious illness can rise if and endocrine organ malfunction by producing too much or too little of its hormones.

Target organs and hormone action
A targer organs has cells with special receptor molecules on their surfaces. The appropriate hormone can fit into these receptor molecules and bring about its effects. These effects are usually achieved by
1. affecting the cell permeability to certain substances;
2. promoting protein syntesis; or
3. increasing the activity of certain enzymes.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM IN HUMANS
The endocrine systems is compose of various endocrine glands positions in the human body. These glands may be
* discrete like the thyriod and adrenals, or
* groups of cells within other organs like the cell in the pancreas that produce insuline. Each endocrine gland may produce one or more hormones. The pitutary is known as the master endocrine gland since many of its hormones influence the activity of others glans, including many endocrine glands.
HYPOTHALAMUS This is a small body at the base of the forebrain, just above the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus regulates activities like temperature control, thirst and sleep. It collects information from other parts of the brain and sense organ via nerve impluse; and by monitoring the chemical level of hormones and other chemicals in the blood that flows through it.
It passes on the necessary information to the pituitary gland which then regulates the activity, directly of other glands, including the endocrine glands. Thus, the hypothalamus act as a link between the nervous system and the endocrine system. By monitoring the blood, it plays a central role in homeostatic processes.

HORMONES
To day we shall study about the hormones and their role in homeostatic process.
sensitivity is an important characteristic of all living organisms. it is the ability to respond to external and internal stimuli. to do this, the different organ systems in a complex organisms have to work together. In animals, the co-ordination work is done by two communication networks: the hormones and the nervous system.
in this section, we shall study about the hormones and the role they play in co-ordination and homeostatic processes.

ENDOCRINE GLANDS

Many glands in the mammalian body produce serections. Some glands, like the salivary glands, deliver their secretions to wherever they are needed via ducts. These are known as excrine glands. Others secretory glands do not have ducts. Their secretions are diffuse directly into the bloodstream and transported to wherever they are needed. These glands are known as endocrine glands and their secretion are the hormones.

I have a school in france for you boarding/daycare, I do hop you are willing to attend.
whenever you are ready let me know, I don't mind funding the bill

This is not surprising as there is little difference between the two religions, Catholicism and Islam.
In fact the latter was a creation of the former.

See below:
Islam Created By The Roman Catholic - Religion - Nairaland
https://www.nairaland.com/778638/islam-created-roman-catholic

More insight here:The Vatican wanted to create a messiah for the Arabs. Someone they could raise up as a great leader, a man with charisma whom they could train, and eventually unite all the non-Catholic Arabs behind him, creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope.

In the Vatican briefing, Cardinal Bea told this story:

"A wealthy Arabian lady who was a faithful follower of the pope played a tremendous part in this drama. She was a widow named Khadijah. She gave her wealth to the church and retired to a convent, but was given an assignment. She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael. Khadijah had a cousin named Waraquah, who was also a very faithful Roman Catholic and the Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad's advisor. He had tremendous influence on Muhammad.

Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training. Muhammad studied the works of St. Augustine which prepared him for his "great calling." The Vatican had Catholic Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one who was about to rise up among the people and be the chosen one of their God.

While Muhammad was being prepared, he was told that his enemies were the Jews and that the only true Christians were Roman Catholic. He was taught that others calling themselves Christians were actually wicked impostors and should be destroyed. Many Muslims believe this.

Muhammad began receiving "divine revelations" and his wife's Catholic cousin Waraquah helped interprete them. From this came the Qur'an. In the fifth year of Muhammad's mission, persecution came against his followers because they refused to worship the idols in the Kaaba.

Muhammad instructed some of them to flee into Abysinnia where Negus, the Roman Catholic king accepted them because Muhammad's views on the Virgin Mary were so close to Roman Catholic doctrine. These Muslims received protection from Catholic kings because of Muhammad's revelations.

Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols. History proves that before Islam came into existence, the Sabeans in Arabia worshipped the moon-god who was married to the sun-god. They gave birth to three goddesses who were worshipped throughout the Arab world as "Daughters of Allah." An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in 1950's shows Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest."

"Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told "You are the messenger of Allah." This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages. By the time Muhammad died, the religion of Islam was exploding. The nomadic Arab tribes were forming forces in the name of Allah and his prophet, Muhammad. Some of Muhammad's writings were placed in the Qur'an, others were never published. They are now in the hands of high ranking holy men (Ayatollahs) in the Islamic faith.

When Cardinal Bea shared with Rivera in the Vatican, he said, these writings are guarded because they contain information that links the Vatican to the creation of Islam. Both sides have so much information on each other, that if exposed, it could create such a scandal that it would be a disaster for both religions.

In their "holy book", the Qur'an, Christ is regarded as only a prophet. If the pope was his representative on earth, then he also must be a prophet of God. This caused the followers of Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another "holy man".

"The pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and conquer the nations of North Africa. The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive Islamic armies in exchange for three favours:

1. Eliminate the Jews and Christians (true believers which they called infidels).

2. Protect the Augustinian Monks and Roman Catholics.

3. Conquer Jerusalem for "His Holiness" in Rome.

when you are done with your foolishness, you go back to school and start from where you stop.
you don't just make a single point from your foolishness

zizytd:
Nigerians r d worst Christians dat I know, they like behaving as they r d best pple in d world Bt they r d worst. Am a christian Bt our Christianity is hypocrisy.

what do you expect from people whose education are just on pieces of papers

Maamin:
And where did I said you call it special news?

stop 2 mumu 4 dis nairaland

she was such a great woman

Truckpusher:
And he came back and said that he can't finish the monorail on a call in radio program in PHC.

Na so one man finish am with questions wey the iidiot no fit answer - The whole program ended in shame, but when it comes to rants about Jonathan the moronic imbecilic Amaechi would become a superman instantly.

if he can't finish the project, then let him get ready to refund our money. amount spent on that useless project can devolop a whole community in Rivers State. I sometimes wonder who advice him to embark on such useless project when there are so much to be done in Rivers State communities. the last time I visited woji community there was no roads.

CFCfan:

I doubt Amaechi has the financial experience to be an effective finance minister. The viable posts for him, in the executive, would be SSG, Minister of Information, or Petroleum minister.

none of the above will Rotimi Ameachi succeeded after the end of his tenure, but rather riot in jail for mismanagement.

Truckpusher:
Monorail that started and ended within a walking distance when boys where still boys and taxis and bus drivers charge N50 for transport fare?You got to be shiitting me.

He said the so called monorail is leading to Eleme junction and we are expecting him complete the project before the end of his tenure.

hugoart:
This is the greatest news today.

Shows Nigeria is still one country with APC.

Ikwerre with Yoruba with Hausa with Fulani with Ijaw(Sylva,soon Dickson too) with Edo aplenty with Tiv with Akwa Ibom plus more working as a unit to rescue Nigeria from PDP misrule.

Amaechi as Buhari great news! Makes the youths believe in one Nigeria once again.

won't you keep quiet and stop making useless comment? if folks of your kind and Ameachi are soak in foolishness doesn't mean the great Ikwere youths are that daft as you guys. APC has no place in Rivers state and the entire Niger Delta region. we are too great and can never be part of foolishness. I pray for 2015 to draw closer lets kick Ameachi butt out of our brick house, then silence APC in Rivers State for ever.

CFCfan:
Rochas could be the APC candidate.

dreamer are you, keep dreaming not is wrong about that

hugoart:
Then get off Nairaland, we don't want your type on a seun osewa forum. The quote button was put there by him for that purpose.

So,peoples,quote if you will. Don't let Jonasatans stop us.

We're free peoples.

no sir, you are not free. your Buhari, Ameachi and you entire APC folks has a very long plan to put you in everlasting bondage

Truckpusher:
He is abusing Jonathan who was able to clinch his party's candidacy, only to stoop so low in accepting a house boy offer from the Angry Peoples Congress.





The loud mouthed iidiot have no single idea of the economic prowess he has as a sitting Rivers State Governor.



Hehe ,Let the gambari elewon finish with his house boy job,then he should come and tell us where our money went to and how he spent it during his 8yrs of recklessness and mismanagement.

he spent it on monorail project
