Some species can spin silk from glands in their mouth.

It gives rise to the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis), a part of the endocrine system.

In prostate cancer, the cells of these prostate glands mutate into cancer cells.

The most common location for neuroblastoma to originate (i.e., the primary tumor) is on the adrenal glands.

In an orb web weaving spider, you can find seven types of silk glands, and what I have depicted here in this picture, let's start at the one o'clock position, there's tubuliform silk glands, which are used to make the outer silk of an egg sac.

They are of two kinds (1) simple tubular glands resembling those of the pyloric end of the stomach, but with short ducts.

If the imbalance is taking place in the pituitary glands, growth disorders are possible and will require treatment of a growth hormone.

It most frequently originates in one of the adrenal glands, but can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis.

Mood stabilizers are the treatment of choice, and, depending on the medication, they can produce potentially significant health complications affecting renal, endocrine, hepatic, immunologic, or metabolic function.

In the context of the IUPS Physiome Project, it includes integrated models of components of organisms, such as particular organs or cell systems, biochemical, or endocrine systems.

At the same time, we invite all stakeholders to address cardiovascular disorders, endocrine disorders, osteoporosis, and mental health and illness in women and preventive measures in girls.

Surgery tends to be done only when just one of the thyroid glands is affected (unilateral disease) however, following surgery, the remaining gland may become over active.

During pregnancy, 60.4 of women are found to have extra genital conditions (specifically, anemia, genitourinary tract infections, endocrine system disorders, disorders of the circulatory system and venous system, etc.).

Being obese can also be caused by disruption of normal growth caused by pathological changes ranging from tumors to aging (which is also understood as pathological) in the endocrine system.

While it is generally thought that 5 HT2C receptors help to regulate appetite as well as mood, and endocrine secretion, the exact mechanism of appetite regulation is not yet known.

The infection itself is usually cured with a 10 day course of antibiotics, but it may take a few weeks for tonsils and swollen glands to return to normal.

Many chemical mediators are involved, including cortisol and adrenalin from the adrenal glands, other hormones and neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and noradrenalin), and responses from the autonomic and immune systems.

So if you ever have the opportunity to dissect an orb web weaving spider, and I hope you do, what you would find is a bounty of beautiful, translucent silk glands.

Information on any other adverse effects to the environment should be included where available, such as environmental fate (exposure), ozone depletion potential, photochemical ozone creation potential, endocrine disrupting potential and or global warming potential.

A gland is an organ in an animal's body that synthesizes a substance such as hormones for release into the bloodstream (endocrine gland) or into cavities inside the body or its outer surface (exocrine gland).

And of course, these endocrine disruptors are things that are implicated in the breast cancer epidemic, the obesity epidemic, the two and a half year drop in the average age of onset of puberty in young girls and other related things.

The name is an acronym deriving from some of the main features Polyneuropathy (peripheral nerve damage), Organomegaly (abnormal enlargement of organs), Endocrinopathy (damage to hormone producing glands) or Edema, M protein (an abnormal immunoglobulin) and Skin abnormalities (including hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis).

Skin conductance, also known as galvanic skin response (GSR), electrodermal response (EDR), psychogalvanic reflex (PGR), skin conductance response (SCR), or skin conductance level (SCL), is a method of measuring the electrical conductance of the skin, which varies depending on the state of sweat glands in the skin.
