The endocrine system creates and releases hormones that transport to various parts of the body to control the body's reactions to things like stress, pain, growth and nutrient intake. These hormones can be thought of as messengers that give directions to different parts of the body, allowing the body to react to changes and maintain homeostasis.




The endocrine system is made up of the many glands in the body. These include the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the pituitary gland, the pancreas, adrenal glands and testicles in men and ovaries in women. The glands synthesize and send out hormones, and each hormone targets a specific organ or type of tissue.When glands create hormones, they get transported through either the bloodstream or the lymph. Hormones help the body to act or react to any threat to homeostasis. Hormones aid throughout reproduction and birth. They help people sleep and wake up. The adrenal glands give off adrenaline to help a person perform in potential danger, and they release dopamine linked with the body's reward system. In general, the endocrine system plays a major role in helping the body maintain homeostasis because it gives off the messengers to help the body to react to any threats to homeostasis.

Which describes simple diffusion
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Have you been through airport security lately? If you have, you’ve probably noticed that it’s carefully designed to let some things in (such as passengers with tickets) and to keep others out (such as weapons, explosives, and bottled water).

In many ways, airport security is a lot like the plasma membrane of a cell. Cell membranes are selectively permeable, regulating which substances can pass through, as well as how much of each substance can enter or exit at a given time. Selective permeability is essential to cells’ ability to obtain nutrients, eliminate wastes, and maintain a stable interior environment different than that of the surroundings (maintain homeostasis).

In the process of diffusion, a substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until its concentration becomes equal throughout a space. For example, think about someone opening a bottle of cleaning ammonia in the middle of a room. The ammonia molecules will initially be most concentrated right where the person opened the bottle, with few or no molecules at the edges of the room. Gradually, the ammonia molecules will diffuse, or spread, away from the place where they were released, and eventually you’ll be able to smell ammonia at the edges of the room. Ultimately, if the bottle is capped and the room is closed, the ammonia molecules will become evenly distributed throughout its volume.
