1. Hormones In Everyday Life With The Effects By: Bria Martin & Jennecia Clark

2. Introduction Have you ever met someone that can’t control their hormones? Well the purpose of this lab is to show how those hormones can affect people physically and emotionally.

3. Observations The hormone test is developed by stimulating protein production in muscle cells and energy release from the breakdown of fats. The HGH Level, Human Growth Hormone Level, is tested A blood sample can be drawn one to 1.5 hours after sleep or strenuous exercise can be performed for 30 minutes before blood is drawn.

4. Problem How does the hormones in the body affect the way the person acts, does, and/or feels?

5. Hypothesis If someone feels one way, then they’re going to act on it as a human instinct.

6. Research 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, including Growth and development Metabolism - how your body gets energy from the foods you eat Sexual function Reproduction Mood

7. Purpose To find out how hormones control your body.

8. Background Information Hormones are chemicals released by cells that affect cells in other parts of the body. Only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism. It is essentially a chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to another. All multicellular organisms produce hormones. Hormones have the following effects on the body: Stimulation or inhibition of growth Mood swings Induction or suppression of apoptosis (programmed cell death) Activation or inhibition of the immune system Regulation of metabolism Preparation of the body for fighting, fleeing, mating, and other activity Preparation of the body for a new phase of life, such as puberty, caring for offspring, and menopause Control of the reproductive cycle A hormone may also regulate the production and release of other hormones. Hormone signals control the internal environment of the body through homeostasis.

10. Procedure Usually for hormone testing, you have to take blood and put it through a system to read your functions. 1.Take blood 1.5 hours after sleep or 30 minutes after exercise. 2.Put strip of blood in hormone reader 3.Read your results.

11. Data HYPOPHYSIS REGIONSHORMONE Growth Hormone: GH ACTH TSH prolactin PARS INTERMEDIAMSH ADH oxytocin stimulates protein synthesis and growth LH (ICSH) FSH in females, stimulates the development of follicles in the ovary and their production of estrogen in males, stimulates spermatogenesis no known effect EFFECT stimulates the thyroid to produce and secrete thyroxin PARS NERVOSA stimulates the kidneys to retain water in females, stimulates contraction during parturition and milk ejection by the mammary glands in females, stimulates ovulation, the formation of the corpus luteum and the production of progesterone by the corpus luteum in males, stimulates the production of testosterone by the interstitial cells in females, stimulates the production of milk by mammary gland PARS DISTALIS stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce the glucocorticoids

12. Data (Continued) HORMONE calcitonin stimulates deposition of calcium into bone (by the osteoclasts) EFFECT thyroxin controls the BMR (basal metabolic rate cell respiration) stimulates growth and development

13. Analysis There are many types of hormones, and the effects that it could do to us. Hormones connect to our nervous system which makes us react to certain things. It may turn as in growth; help our kidneys, and many other things. Hormones mostly affect females. As you can see in the chart, women have more effects than men and in general. All in all, hormones help us, brighten up our day, produce growth, etc. in our everyday lives.

14. Conclusion Hormones affect people in negative and positive ways. People usually do something on their instincts. Hormones control the instinct sometimes. For example, if you’re feeling angry, that’s your hormone. Your instinct is to yell at someone bothering you or to fight. Your body is something that you can control physically, not chemically.
