Hvad er forskellen mellem exokrine kirtler og endokrine kirtler?
Hvad er forskellen mellem exokrine kirtler og endokrine kirtler?
Exokrine kirtler frigiver deres kemikalier i kanaler, der fører dem til overfladen af kroppen, mens endokrine kirtler frigiver deres kemikalier direkte i blodbanen.
Hvad er funktionen af kønskirtlerne?
Hvad er funktionen af kønskirtlerne?
Kønskirtlernes primære funktion er at producere sædceller (i testiklerne) og ægceller (i æggestokkene).

Study Notes
Hormones and Sex
- LO 13.1: Distinguish between exocrine and endocrine glands, describe gonadal functions, and differentiate between X and Y chromosomes.
- LO 13.2: Describe three classes of hormones (amino acid derivatives, peptides/proteins, and steroids) and three classes of gonadal hormones.
- LO 13.3: Explain why the pituitary is called the master gland, describe its anatomy, and explain evidence discounting the anterior pituitary's control over gonadal/gonadotropic hormone release patterns.
- LO 13.4 Explain how the anterior and posterior pituitary are controlled.
- LO 13.5: Describe the research leading to the discovery of hypothalamic releasing hormones.
- LO 13.6: Describe different types of signals regulating hormone release, how hormones are released over time, and the effect this has on circulating hormone levels.
- LO 13.7: Summarize the model of gonadal endocrine regulation.
- LO 13.8: Describe the development of internal and external reproductive organs.
- LO 13.9: Describe male and female secondary sex characteristics and the role of hormones in their development.
- LO 13.10: Describe the evolution of research and thinking about sex differences in the brain.
- LO 13.11: Describe the results of studies about sex differences in human and nonhuman behaviour.
- LO 13.12: Explain androgen insensitivity syndrome, adrenogenital syndrome, and ablatio penis in relation to human sexual development.
- LO 13.13: Describe the role of gonadal hormones in male sexual behaviour.
- LO 13.14: Describe the role of gonadal hormones in female sexual behaviour.
- LO 13.15: Describe the dangers of anabolic steroid use.
- LO 13.16: Describe the roles of the cortex, hypothalamus, amygdala, and ventral striatum in sexual activity.
- LO 13.17: Describe the results of Bailey and Pillards study on sexual orientation genetics and the fraternal birth order effect.
- LO 13.18: Describe the hypothesized role of adrenal cortex steroids.
- LO 13.19: Describe the famous LeVay (1991) study and its problems.
- LO 13.20: Define gender identity and explain gender dysphoria.
- LO 13.21: Explain how sexual attraction, gender identity, and body type are independent.
Neuroendocrine System
- Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the circulatory system, influencing various bodily functions.
- Exocrine glands release chemicals through ducts onto surfaces.
- Gonads (testes and ovaries) produce hormones involved in sexual development and sexual behaviour.
Hormones
- Three main classes: amino-acid derivatives, peptides/proteins, and steroids (derived from cholesterol).
- Steroid hormones have diverse and sustained effects on cellular functions.
Glands
- Pituitary gland, a "master" gland, influences other glands.
- Posterior pituitary releases vasopressin and oxytocin.
- Anterior pituitary releases tropic hormones, stimulating other endocrine glands.
