Endocrine system- Pituitary gland
Posted in 2013

The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain beneath the hypothalamus and is no larger than a pea. It is often considered the most important part of the endocrine system because it produces hormones that control many functions of other endocrine glands. When the pituitary gland does not produce one or more of its hormones or not enough of them, it is called hypopituitarism.
The pituitary gland is divided into two parts: the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces the following hormones, which are regulated by the hypothalamus:
  • Growth hormone: Stimulates growth of bone and tissue ( Growth hormone deficiency) results in growth failure. Growth hormone deficiency in adults results in problems in maintaining proper amounts of body fat and muscle and bone mass. It is also involved in emotional well-being.)
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (A lack of thyroid hormones either because of a defect in the pituitary or the thyroid itself is called hypothyrodism.)
  • Adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal gland to produce several related steroid hormones
  • Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH):Hormones that control sexual function and production of the sex steroids, estrogen and progesterone  in females or testosterone in males
  • Prolactin: Hormone that stimulates milk production in females
My advise
1...  It is the system which will regulate the activity of various cells or organs
2...  The major glands of endocrine system are the  hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, and the reproductive organs (ovaries and testes). The pancreas is also a part of this system; it has a role in hormone production as well as in digestion.
3... These hormones are chemical messengers created by our body
4..  They transfer the messages of various glands to coordinate with one another.
5... We are discussing on reproductive organs how they protect and regulate functions of these organs.  All of you know about reproductive organs
6... Protect this system with your healthy habits, healthy life style, healthy food etc.. to avoid various health problems caused and particularly on reproductive system

Possible Male fertility Problems

Possible Male Fertility problems  My memories Possible Male Fertility Problems Posted in 2015  Sexually Transmitted diseases or other infections.  G enital infections such as chlamydia  and gonorrhea  can cause infertility in men. The infertility can often be resolved by treating the infection. Blockages, birth defects   , or physical damage . In  some cases, men are born with blockages in parts of the testicle or other abnormalities that prevent sperm from getting into the semen. Physical trauma to the testicles, prostate, and urethra can also result in fertility problems. Surgery can sometimes correct the problem. Retrograde ejaculation.  In  this disorder, semen doesn't come out of the penis  during ejaculation, but instead enters the bladder. It can be caused by diabetes , certain medications , and surgery to the bladder, prostate, or urethra. Genetic diseases .  Although it's rare, genetic illnesses such as cystic fibrosis  or chromosomal disorders can c

At present,  type 1 diabetes  cannot be prevented. The environmental triggers that are thought to generate the process that results in the destruction of the body’s insulin-producing cells are still under investigation. While there are a number of factors that influence the development of  type 2 diabetes , it is evident that the most influential are lifestyle behaviours commonly associated with urbanization. These include consumption of unhealthy foods and inactive lifestyles with sedentary behaviour. Studies from different parts of the world have established that  lifestyle modification  with  physical activity  and/or  healthy

Reproduction of Human Beings - Male

Reproduction of Human Beings - Male Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Reproduction of Human Beings- Male Posted in 2013 Reproduction in human beings is by sexual reproduction where both the male and female gametes fertilize to give rise to an embryo. The fertilization of human embryo occurs inside the body of the female. Thus, it is called Internal Fertilization. Human Beings are viviparous organisms who give rise to Embryos directly instead of laying eggs. Let us understand a little more about the male and female reproductive organs and the process of fertilization in them. Male Reproductive System Testes:  Male humans have two testes. They are situated in a bag of skin known as the scrotum. Scrotum lies outside the pelvic cavity. Sperm Duct:  These are thin ducts that arise from the testes. Prostrate Gland:  This gland is an accessory gland in males which pours its secretions into the sperm duct along with the
