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).

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.

The vestibulocochlear nerve (auditory vestibular nerve), known as the eighth cranial nerve, transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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 like Kevlar.

There is a unique opportunity now with focused ultrasound guided by MR, because we can actually think about prostate lumpectomy treating just the focal lesion and not removing the whole gland, and by that, avoiding all the issues with potency and incontinence.

Another, conducted in the US, showed no evidence that PSA screening improved prostate cancer survival rates. In addition, a recent study comparing outcomes for patients whose prostate gland was surgically removed to those for patients who underwent only observation found no differences in survival rates between the two groups.
