When I heard the word endocrinology first thing came up to my mind are hormones.
Endocrinology is concerned with the study of the chemistry, and physiological function of hormones and with the cells of the endocrine glands and tissues that secrete them that work together with the nervous system to coordinate functions of all the body system.
When we say hormones basically, hormones are your body's chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. They work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes.
Functions of Hormones
- Help Regulate:
- chemical composition & volume of internal environment
- metabolism and energy balance
- contraction of smooth and cardiac muscle fibers
- glandular secretions
- some immune system activities
3. Regulate operation of reproductive system
Toxicology
The study of the adverse effects of a toxicant on living organisms meaning to say the effects of the poisons, these poisonous substances is produced by plants, animals or bacteria.
The household products implicated most poisonings are cleaning solutions, fuels, medicines, and other material such as cosmetics and paints.
Toxicologists is the person who work to develop a mechanistic understanding of how chemicals affect living systems.
Swiss physician Paracelsus (1493-1541) "The Father of Modern Toxicology. He said "all substances are poisons: there is none which is not a poison. the right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy."
Drug testing
Drug testing is being done for many purposes its a major requirements like when you are seeking for an employment, those you are athletics etc.
There are many different procedures to analyze and perform the drug test. drug testing is process of anlysing biological specimen in order for use to determine the absence or presence of a certain metabolites that is not supposed to be taken which are considered illegal that affect our health. examples are cocaine, ectasy, and shabu.
These biological specimens have different specific time seen in the fluid being tested. Examples are saliva, urine, sweat, hair and blood.
Making use of bullets in summarizing a particular topic makes a reader motivated to read. But I suggest that you make an adjustment in the contrast between the font color and the template being use, so that the message may appear more clearly to the reader.
