Hormones

• FEMALE HORMONES:

  Progesteron & Estrogen
• MALE HORMONE:

  Testosterone
• LH AND FSH IN FEMALE:

  Stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen and progesterone (Female characteristics)
• LH IN MALE:

  Stimulates release of testosterone
• FSH IN MALE:

  Stimulates production and maturation of sperm
• Hormones:

  Chemical Messenger, that travels through the bloodstream
• GNRH:

  Gonadoptropin-releasing hormone
• Gonadotropin-releasing hormone:

  Produce LH & FSH
• Hypothalamus:

  Releases Gonodoptropin-releasing hormone
• Bleeding (3-7 days):

  Menstruation phase
• Last 8-13 days:

  Follicular Phase
• Matured egcell will be released (14-28 days):

  Ovulation Phase
• Endometrium Of uterus continues to prepare for fertilized egg:

  Luteal phase
• 4 STAGES OF MENSTRUATION:

  Menstrual phase

  Follicular Phase

  Ovulation Phase

  Luteal Phase
• Shredding of blood and tissues:

  Menstruation
• Recieves signals from other cells:

  Dendrites
• Longest Cell, and recieves, transmit signal bringing information to cell body:

  Neuron
• contains chromosome:

  Nucleus
• Contains fats and proteins and speeds up action potentials:

  Myelin
• Gaps in myelination of axons:

  Node of ranvier
• Taking information away from the cell body:

  Axon
• End of axon containing vesicles with neurotransmitters:

  -Synapse
• Carry signals that helps you touch, smell, and see:

  Sensory Neuron
• Carry signals that helps you move and function:

  Motor Neuron
• Conveys impulses from one neuron to another:

  Interneuron
• Master controlling and communicating system.

  Nervous system
• Main Processing center of entire nervous system:

  Central Nevous System
• Connects the nervous system to limbs:

  Peripheral Nervous System.
• Part in the brain that controls posture, balance, and coordination.

  Cerebellum
• Upper of brain that controls activity and thoughts:

  Cereberum.
• Connects brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions.

  Brain Stem
• Channel for signals between brain and the rest of the body.

  Spinal cord
• Series of glands located throughout the body is called Endocrine system
• GLANDS: Pituitary & Hypothalamus

  Location: Brain

  Function: Stimulates growth
• ADRENAL GLAND

  LOCATION: Top of the kidney.

  Releasing: Adrenaline

  FUNCTION: Prepares body for action, controls the heart rate.
• Thyroid Gland

  LOCATION: Below the voice box

  Hormones: Thyroxin

  Function: Regulates body metabolism
• Sympathetic: Activated when body is in stress, increase heart rate.
• Parasympathetic: Maintains body function, restores relaxed mode.
• Spanial Nerves: Carry information into and out of the brain stem
• Cranial nerves: nerve fibers that Carry information and out of the brain stem
