Cardiovascular test part 2

cluster of ball like structures that smell collection centers” where neurons for a specific odor molecule converge on mitral cells

open nasal passageway so that pheromones can reach the VMO

A system of glands or tissues that secrete hormones into the blood to regulate animal homeostasis and physiology -has a slow rate of change compared to nervous system

The study of endocrine glands, their secretion of hormones into the blood and the effects of endocrine hormones on tissues

That the endocrine system secrete hormones into the blood (can reach many parts of the body)

a increase in the size or an organ to compensate for the the lack of another

constant low hormone secretion

constant high hormone secretion

secreting hormones in pulses, common for neuroendocrine hormones, related to the action potential to the neuron

thyroid hormone acts as an inhibitor

Oxytocin acts as a stimulator and to smooth muscle contraction

anterior and posterior pituitary

Groups of nerve cell bodies that respond to specific sensory information and release neuroendocrine hormones into the anterior or posterior pituitary

oxytocin and vasopressin

stimulates milk ejection and uterine contraction in females

water retention and regulates blood pressure

Nephrons in the kidneys and/or arterioles throughout the blood

uterus and mammary glands

Contraction of smooth muscle in uterus for parturition (birthing process)

Contraction of smooth muscle in mammary gland for milk ejection

increases aquaporin activity

damage to the pituitary gland affecting the storage and release of Vasopressin/ADH

excessive drinking

excessive urination
