Endocrine system - Physiology
The endocrine system links the brain to the organs that control body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction.
Signal transduction of some hormones with steroid structure involves nuclear hormone receptor proteins that are a class of ligand activated proteins that, when bound to specific sequences of DNA serve as on-off switches for transcription within the cell nucleus. These switches control the development and differentiation of skin, bone and behavioral centers in the brain, as well as the continual regulation of reproductive tissues.
The endocrine system regulates its hormones through negative feedback. Increases in hormone activity decrease the production of that hormone. The immune system and other factors contribute as control factors also, altogether maintaining constant levels of hormones.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend!

And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
