The pituitary gland is called the master gland because from the pituitary gland we make hormones that work on yet other organs.

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).

IUCN, Gland, Switzerland, and Cambridge, England, 1991, p. 1.

The normal example, let's take the human mammary gland.

But the ultimate regulation is from that pituitary gland.

What this party needs is a little gland treatment.

This triggers the pituitary gland, a pea sized gland found at the base of the brain, to release adrenocorticotropic hormone which then stimulates the adrenal gland sitting on top of the kidneys to release cortisol, the major stress hormone.

Synthetic TRH is also used by physicians as a test of TSH reserve in the pituitary gland as it should stimulate the release of TSH and prolactin from this gland.

He reportedly suffers from high blood pressure, an enlarged prostate gland and heart problems.

We're going to plunge into the body now, and we've landed in the thyroid gland.

Gland is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

Hypothalamus in the midbrain, pituitary gland nestled close by, thyroid, here, pancreas, here, adrenals, here, ovaries, here.

Excess radioiodine that does not get absorbed into the thyroid gland is eliminated by the body in urine.

Propylthiouracil also works outside the thyroid gland, preventing conversion of (mostly inactive) T4 to the active form T3.

The most alarming aspect of this is the increase in the incidence of cancer of the thyroid gland.

The transcervical approach, a less invasive procedure, allows for removal of the entire thymus gland through a small neck incision.

Removal of the entire gland (radical perineal prostatectomy) was first performed in 1904 by Hugh H. Young at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Alcohol also limits the production of vasopressin (ADH) from the hypothalamus and the secretion of this hormone from the posterior pituitary gland.

Now if you take the mammary gland and spread it and take the fat away, on a dish it looks like that.

But the primary suspect is the apocrine sweat gland, present in both your arm pits and what is delicately termed your genital region.

We have shown that there's little pieces of DNA on the specific genes of the mammary gland that actually respond to extracellular matrix.

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland. A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

Between 1986 and 1992 the number of cases of cancer of the thyroid gland in children increased by a factor of more than 32.

In the same way, you don't have to think about how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism.

TSH it makes, if the levels are too low, it will stimulate production of TSH to make the thyroid gland make more thyroid hormone.

An example of a neuroendocrine cell is a cell of the adrenal medulla (innermost part of the adrenal gland), which releases adrenaline to the blood.

The exact mechanisms are, however, not convincingly clarified, although removal of the thymus gland (thymectomy) in MG patients without a thymus neoplasm often have positive results.

So the insight is how do you actually reverse engineer this and go from cocoon to gland and get water and protein that is your starting material.

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.

So the insight is how do you actually reverse engineer this and go from cocoon to gland and get water and protein that is your starting material.

The other hormones, some of the major ones, the pituitary, in addition to making TSH, it makes a hormone called ACTH, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, which acts on the adrenal cortex, and the adrenal is the gland that sits right on top of the kidney, and the outer layers of the adrenal gland are the adrenal cortex, and those are stimulated by ACTH.

So the first one you showed very nicely, in the head, at the base of the brain, is that orange structure and that would be the pituitary gland.

History Sympathectomy developed in the mid 19th century, when it was learned that the autonomic nervous system runs to almost every organ, gland and muscle system in the body.

He had seen a variety of internal and external medical specialists, and had had an MRI spinal examination, physiotherapy for his back and an X ray thyroid gland examination.

Mammary stem cells Mammary stem cells provide the source of cells for growth of the mammary gland during puberty and gestation and play an important role in carcinogenesis of the breast.

The surgical approaches to the removal of the thymus gland include transsternal (through the sternum, transcervical (through a small neck incision), and transthoracic (through one or both sides of the chest).

The World Conservation Union ( IUCN ) provides a framework that could be useful for developing such objectives (Guidelines for Protected Area Management Categories, IUCN and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, U.K. (1994)).

The silk worm does a remarkable thing it uses these two ingredients, protein and water, that are in its gland, to make a material that is exceptionally tough for protection so comparable to technical fibers

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland.

The silk worm does a remarkable thing it uses these two ingredients, protein and water, that are in its gland, to make a material that is exceptionally tough for protection so comparable to technical fibers like Kevlar.

Hypothalamus works with this thing called negative bio feedback so any time that something happens, the temperature changes outside, hypothalamus picks that up, pituitary gland sends a message to the thyroid, all of the sudden, you are adjusting to the temperature.
