The endocrine system is composed of the following:
1) hypothalamus
2) pituitary gland
3) thyroid and parathyroids
4) adrenal glands
5) pineal gland and gonads
6) pancreas
Pituitary gland is involved in gigantism. Pituitary gland produces the growth hormone. Excessive growth hormone released by the pituitary may result to gigantism.
The enlargement of the thyroid gland is called goiter. It is a symptom of hypherthyroidism, a condition wherein levels of thyroid hormones in the blood are highly excessive.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-Thalamus
Explanation:
The somatosensory pathway is the pathway which sends the receptor generated sensory impulses mostly the temperature and touch to the central nervous system.
The pathway is composed of three types of neurons called primary order neuron, second-order neuron and tertiary order neuron.
The second-order neuron receives the signals from the first-order neurons and carries the signals to the relay part of the brain called thalamus. The thalamus is present in the forebrain region of the brain where it receives, analyses and sends the signals to the different region of the cerebral cortex.
Thus, the thalamus is the correct answer.
<span>Georgio instantly feels pain due to the message carried to his brain by </span>myelinated axons. The message of the ache is carried by unmyelinated axons.
The myelinated axon is highly "insulated" axon that r<span>eceives input and transmit impulse quickly.</span>
The purpose of the naked axon with larger dendritic field which is called unmyelinated axon is to receive as much input as possible.
