Blogging

When our fourth year college started our CC3 professor required us to do some blogs. First time that I heard that we will be required to do it I felt sad because I do like creating a blog. I know that blog is like giving information to others and before you do it you must research about the topic that you will post. I do not like making blog at first because I know it will take time before you finish it you will make also extra research for it.

After creating my blogs for our subject CC3 I find making blog interesting in some way. When I am creating blog I enjoy when I am reading books for my research and I am learning something new. I am learning facts that I cannot get from my other subjects when doing my blog and that is the advantage of making one.

If our professor did not require us to do edublogging I will not be able to experience making blog. Because of edublogging I learn on how to research properly and I make myself fun of reading many books.  Lastly I would like to thank my professor in my CC3 for encouraging us to make blog because if not I would not experience this and my scare of creating blog would not be removed

Endocrinology is a medical discipline that focuses on the structure, function and disorders of the endocrine glands. The endocrine glands produce and secrete hormones into the bloodstream and are a part of the larger endocrine system. The endocrine system uses hormones as communication messengers to organs throughout the body by way of blood vessels. They regulate bodily functions like metabolism, tissue growth and function, development and mood.

Endocrine System

• a recognition site, to which hormone binds

• an effector site, which precipitates the modification of cellular function.

Endocrine Glands

• The endocrine glands include the adrenal, hypothalamus, pancreas, ovaries, parathyroid, pineal, pituitary, testes and thyroid. Conditions like diabetes, goiter and hypoglycemia are examples of conditions that arise from an overactive or underactive endocrine gland.

The major glands that make up the human endocrine system include the: 

• Hypothalamus - It makes hormones that control the pituitary gland. It also makes the hormone ADH and oxytocin, which are stored in the pituitary gland.
• Pituitary gland - Known as the "Master Gland", this part of the brain consists of three lobes called "anterior" and "posterior". It also respond to signals from the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland releases hormones some of which control other endocrine glands. 
• Parathyroid gland - They release parathyroid hormone, which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism.
• Thymus - Thymosin, which stimulates the development of  T cells for the immune system, is secreted by the thymus.
• Pancreas - has patches of tissue called the islets of Langerhans. It produces insulin and glucagon that control the blood sugar level.
• Adrenal Gland -  It produce hormones that help control heart rate, blood pressure, the way the body uses food, the levels of minerals such as sodium and potassium in the blood, and other functions particularly involved in stress reactions.
• Ovaries - The hormones estrogen and progesterone are made in the ovaries. They maintain the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. Progesterone maintains the uterus during pregnancy.
• Testes - makes testosterone, a hormone that maintains the male reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.
