Homeostatis, a term which refers to the maintenance of the internal state of a given body that is quite distinct from the external environment in an effort of defending it against perturbation is an important element of every male and female on the planet. In this paper we attempt to explain how homeostatic mechanisms affect the homeostasis of the Reproductive system.
How homeostatic mechanisms affect the male reproductive system
The hypothalamus produces the hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which controls the anterior pituitary gonadotropins. The anterior pituitary gonadotropins then releases Folicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH).The Folicle stimulating hormone (FSH) then indirectly stimulates spermatogenesis by simulating sustentacular cells to effectively release andogen-binding protein (ABP).The andogen-binding protein (ABP)
then prompts the spermatogenic cells to effectively bind while also concentrating testosterone which...
The hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary are subject to the homeostatic feedback mechanism. The testosterone effectively inhibits the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland. The hormone Inhibin (a protein hormone) which is produced by the body's sustentacular (Sertoli) cells effectively inhibits the upstream hormone release so as to maintain the production of sperms.
How homeostatic mechanisms affect the male reproductive system
In females, the hypothalamus-pituitary complex as apart of the homeostatic mechanism regulates the production of the ovarian hormones (progesterone and estrogen) with the gonadotropins (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone). The ovarian hormone then regulates the gonadotropins via the negative feedback. The start of puberty is effectively…
Function of Homeostasis in Human Biology The preservation of stability or constant condition in a biological system by means of automatic mechanisms that work against influences leaning towards disequilibria is Homeostasis. (Homeostasis {hohm-ee-oh-stay'-sis}) Homeostasis is the capacity of the body to preserve relative constancy and work even when severe changes occur in the external environment or in one part of the body. (Homeostasis: Toxiocology Tutor III) This is one of the

It is the process of interaction among family members that determines the rules by which the family is governed. This is the family's level of cohesion, its adaptability, and its communication style. Finally, these interactions work together to serve individual members and collective family needs; (3) Family function is the output of the interactional system. Utilizing the resources available through its structure (input), the family interacts to produce responses that
