My synopsis topic is “hormones and its role”In this I describe the following
Hormone.
Abstract Hormone,
organic substance secreted by plants and animals that functions in the
regulation of physiological activities and in maintaining homeostasis.
the pituitary gland, the most important gland in the endocrine system, stimulates growth during
a person's childhood
Introduction
Hormone are chemical messenger that perform many bodily life function and also help in
maintain our body and deviation from normal level can indicate serious health problems
oxytocin
produced primarily in the hypothalamus and acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Best known
for its role in female reproduction, it is actually found in both male and female mammals.
prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Levels of this hormone can vary over
the course of someone's life, depending on a variety of factors, including age and pregnancy.
This hormone is also sometimes known as luteotropic hormone (LTH). Many medical labs can
test prolactin levels in patients who have conditions which may be related to abnormal
The thyroid is a large endocrine gland located in the neck. For men, the gland is located just
below the area known as the Adam’s apple. While most people do not think much about the
function of the thyroid, this gland can have a profound impact on both the physical and
cortisol
Cortisol is a type of hormone, called a corticosteroid hormone, produced by the body. It's
sometimes called the “stress” hormone since people produce greater levels of it when under
insulin
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and that regulates the level of glucose —
a simple sugar that provides energy — in the blood. Human bodies require a steady amount of
glucose throughout the day, and that glucose comesfrom the foods that people eat.
Parathyroid hormone
a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that regulates the serum calcium through its

cortisol levels in the bloodstream can have negative effects on thyroid function, metabolism,
and immune function. Measurement of cortisol in serum can be used to diagnose problems in
the adrenal or pituitary gland, as well as stress-related disorders. Previous work has indicated
that routine clinical measurements may significantly overestimate the cortisol levels present in

accuracy of clinical assays for hormones will improve diagnoses and result in earlier
treatments. The new reference methods and SRM 971 Hormones in Human Serum will help
achieve this goal and will also provide higher-order reference systems for traceability.
Location of hormones
Hormones are present in both plant and animal cell and perform their activities or function
within precise limits. The body is normally able to sense whether more or less
between the hypothalamus, located in the brain, and the pituitary gland, which
sits at the base of the brain. This interplay is referred to as the hypothalamic-
pituitary axis. The hypothalamus secretes several hormones that control the
pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland, sometimes called the master gland, in turn controls the
functions of many other endocrine glands. The pituitary controls the rate at
which it secretes hormones through a feedback loop in which the blood levels
of other endocrine hormones signal the pituitary to slow down or speed up. So,
for example, the pituitary gland senses when blood levels of thyroid hormone
are low and releases thyroid stimulating hormone, which tells the thyroid gland
to make more hormones. If the level gets too high, the pituitary senses that and
decreases the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone, which then decreases the
Many other factors can control endocrine function. For example, a baby sucking
blood sugar levels stimulate the islet cells of the pancreas to produce insulin.
Part of the nervous system stimulates the adrenal gland to produce epinephrine.
REVIEV OF LITERATURE
Arnold Adolph Berthold was a German physiologist and zoologist, who, in 1849, had a
question about the function of the testes. He noticed that in castrated roosters that they did not
have the same sexual behaviors as roosters with their testes intact. He decided to run an
experiment on male roosters to examine this phenomenon. He kept a group of roosters with
their testes intact, and saw that they had normal sized wattles and combs (secondary sexual
organs), a normal crow, and normal sexual and aggressive behaviors. He also had a group with
their testes surgically removed, and noticed that their secondary sexual organs were decreased
in size, had a weak crow, did not have sexual attraction towards females, and were not
aggressive. He realized that this organ was essential for these behaviour’s, but he did not know
how. To test this further, he removed one testis and placed it in the abdominal cavity. The
roosters acted and had normal physical anatomy. He was able to see that location of the testes
do not matter. He then wanted to see if it was a genetic factor that was involved in the testes
that provided these functions. He transplanted a testis from another rooster to a rooster with
one testis removed, and saw that they had normal behaviour and physical anatomy as well.
Berthold determined that the location or genetic factors of the testes do not matter in relation
to sexual organs and behaviour’s, but that some chemical in the testes being secreted is causing
this phenomenon. It was later identified that this factor was the hormone testosterone.
William Bayliss and Ernest Starling, a physiologist and biologist, respectively, wanted to see
if the nervous system had an impact on the digestive system. They knew that the pancreas was
involved in the secretion of digestive fluids after the passage of food from the stomach to
the intestines, which they believed to be due to the nervous system. They cut the nerves to the
pancreas in an animal model and discovered that it was not nerve impulses that controlled
secretion from the pancreas. It was determined that a factor secreted from the intestines into
the bloodstream was stimulating the pancreas to secrete digestive fluids. This factor was
named secretin: a hormone, although the term hormone was not coined until 1905 by Starling

years ago. The evolution of the endocrine system in the more advanced
