Heading: Animal Hormones: Chemical Regulators in Body Functions
Animal hormones are chemical messengers that play a crucial role in regulating various body functions. They are produced and released by endocrine glands, which are ductless glands that release hormones directly into the bloodstream.
The hypothalamus, a small region in the brain, acts as a major coordinator of hormone release. It receives information from the nervous system and uses this information to produce releasing and inhibiting hormones that control the pituitary gland, the master gland of the endocrine system.
Hormones use signaling mechanisms such as receptors and second messengers to transmit signals to target organs. These target organs respond to the hormonal signals by undergoing specific changes that help maintain homeostasis in the body.
Mixed glands, also known as dual glands, have both endocrine and exocrine functions. Examples of mixed glands include the pancreas, which produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels, and also secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine.
The action of hormones on target organs is significant as it helps to maintain various body functions such as growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response.
Hormonal imbalances can have significant effects on the body, and feedback mechanisms are in place to regulate hormone secretion. These feedback mechanisms help maintain hormone levels within a normal range, and any irregularities in hormone secretion can trigger feedback mechanisms to correct the imbalance.
Overall, hormones play a vital role as chemical regulators in body functions, and understanding their anatomy, function, and mechanisms is essential for maintaining good health.

Hello everyone,
Composition, physical characteristics and functions of whole blood.
Whole blood comprises of plasma, platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells. Plasma is the liquid portion of blood and consists of water, electrolytes and proteins, hormones and waste products. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are the most abundant cells in the blood and are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body and removing carbon dioxide. White blood cells (leukocytes) defend the body against pathogens, infections and foreign substances. There are several types of white blood cells, each with specific functions in immune response. Platelets (thrombocytes) are cell fragments involved in blood clotting and wound healing during injury (Saladin, 2020).
Why it is classified as a connective tissue.
Blood meets the criteria for classification as a connective tissue due to its shared properties. Among them are cells, :
Blood contains a variety of cell types, including platelets, WBCs, and RBCs which connects the body’s tissues, other cells and organs.
Extracellular Matrix: The plasma in blood that holds the blood cells in place.
Protein fibers: During clotting, fibrinogen and other clotting components in blood become apparent.
Blood, like other connective tissues, serves as a link between the body’s systems, transporting hormones, nutrients, and oxygen to cells while expelling wastes like carbon dioxide.
Blood’s embryonic source is the mesodermal tissue, which also gives rise to other connective tissues. It is categorized as a connective tissue due to its common developmental origin (Ferretti & Hadjantonakis, 2019).

(Instructions)
This is the first of a series of podcasts you will summarize for a graded assignment (others are also available for extra credit). We will be summarizing a podcast called Consider the Burying Beetle. (Or Else.)Links to an external site., produce by New York Times’ The Daily
This podcast covers the 15th United Nations Biodiversity Conference, a topic briefly mentioned in lecture 2. Your podcast summary should be between 300 and 500 words (1-1.5 page, 1.5 spaced, Times New Roman) and include the main points you hear in this podcast. Please include:
1) Three key points;
2) Something that is a novelty for you;
3) The short, take-home message;
3) Your personal take on this podcast.

According to the idea that you came up with, in uploaded files (PowerPoint slide

According to the idea that you came up with, in uploaded files (PowerPoint slides and scriipts), and the reference which I have uploaded (please read carefully), think and answer the following questions: 1. What type of drug are we delivering exactly?
2. What materials do we use exactly?
Some Suggestions: Create injectable temperature-responsive hydrogels (Elastin-like Polypeptides) for biomedical applications:
Liquid at low temperature (before injection)
Solid at body temperature (after injection)
I have also uploaded the assessment requirement of the last order you wrote for me, in case of you forgot what have you done last time.

For this assignment, you will submit an annotated bibliography with at least 6 s

For this assignment, you will submit an annotated bibliography with at least 6 sources that relate to your final topic. Papers should be cited in an appropriate scientific format such as AMA.
As you collect each article, you should not only read it, but also write, in your own words, a concise (~150 words) explanation or description of the key points of the article. Other common items to include in an annotation include how the article relates to your topic, any issues with the paper, and how this information might fit into your paper. You may find it helpful to put these thoughts in bullet points or in a short paragraph.

The toxicological evaluation is designed to provide students with an opportunity

The toxicological evaluation is designed to provide students with an opportunity to do their own risk evaluation of an assigned compound. Each student will be assigned a compound and will assess where or not the compound is poses risk to biological systems (humans, animals, and environment). The assessment should include the following provided the information is available:
Description of the compound (what is it)
Location (where is it found; naturally occurring or synthetic)
Summary of a case study (eg. poisoning, ecological disaster, historical use)
Uses (eg. therapeutic, agricultural)
Toxicodynamic properties (what does it do)
Toxicokinetic properties (ADME)
Mechanism of toxicity (if known)
Sensitive populations
Treatment
Federal Regulations
Reference exposure doses (oral or inhalation;
see EPA, FDA, NIOSH, OSHA)
Your assessment on the potential risk to humans, animals and/or the environment
The assessment should be concise (please no more than 5 pages). All information must be sighted from a peer reviewed source (acceptable sources are listed below in the Recommended Reading Section). Each student will give a brief presentation (chalk talk NO PowerPoint or other media) on the last day of class.
