In addition to endocrine glands, some organs whose functions are primarily nonendocrine also produce hormones. these endocrine tissues include heart and kidneys.
<span>
The heart can act as an endocrine organ by releasing natriuretic peptides that lower the blood pressure. Those are an A-type natriuretic peptide (ANP) from the from stretched atria and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) from the ventricles.</span>
<span>
The kidney secretes two hormones: erythropoietin (EPO) which increase the production of red blood cells and calcitriol (active vitamin D3) which promotes the absorption of Ca and its release from the bones.</span>
Answer:Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma)
Explanation:An acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous brain tumor that develops on the nerve that runs between the inner ear and the brain. Also called vestibular schwannomas, acoustic neuromas develop in cells known as Schwann cells. The primary symptoms of vestibular schwannoma are unexplained progressive unilateral hearing loss and tinnitus(the perception of sound when no external corresponding sound is present) and vestibular (disequilibrium) symptoms.
Based on the diathesis-stress model schizophrenia is the result of interaction between environmental and biological/genetic factors. According to this model, when the combination of the predisposition (diathesis) and the stress (biological, social, and psychological stressors) exceeds a threshold, the person will develop a disorder.
