mirigy

an organ in the body that produces certain chemical substances to be used in the body or to be discharged into the surroundings

What is "gland"?

The gland is an organ in the body that plays a crucial role in the endocrine system by producing and releasing hormones into the bloodstream. Endocrine glands, such as the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands, secrete hormones that regulate and coordinate various bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response. These hormones act as chemical messengers, traveling through the bloodstream to target cells or organs, where they exert their specific effects. Glands of the endocrine system work together to maintain hormonal balance and ensure the proper functioning of the body's physiological processes.

(adrenalin hormon)

(adrenalin hormon)

adrenalin

a body hormone produced in case of anger, fear, or excitement that makes the heart beat faster and the body react quicker

What is "adrenaline"?

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress and emergencies. When released into the bloodstream, adrenaline triggers various physiological changes, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and heightened mental alertness. These effects prepare the body for a "fight-or-flight" response, helping to mobilize energy and enhance physical performance. Adrenaline is an essential component of the body's stress response system and contributes to our ability to cope with challenging situations.

(prosztata mirigy)

(prosztata mirigy)

prosztata

a gland in the male body that produces fluid for semen and surrounds the urethra, aiding in urine control

What is "prostate"?

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located in the male reproductive system, situated just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Its primary function is to produce and secrete prostate fluid, a component of semen that nourishes and protects sperm cells during ejaculation. The prostate is also involved in the control of urine flow by surrounding the urethra, the tube that carries both urine and semen out of the body.
