The Male Gonadal Gland and its Hormones... WTH?! hahaha basically for me!

So here it is...me talking about and representing all males about our gonads which is basically known as our testicles and it can be seen primarily behind our penis which is covered with a pouch..the SCROTUM... FYI that scrotums surface is like the surface of your elbow so go on and give it a try ;)

So basically our testicles are the ones which produces and store millions of sperm (which someday one of them would meet the egg cell and form a life). Our testicles is also the factory for TESTOSTERONE (male hormone and the prinipl androgen).

So what in the world is testosterone?

Testosterone is the male hormone which is responsible for the development of male reproductive organs and plays a big role in developing male characteristics such as having broader shoulders, facial hairs, body hairs,axilliary hairs, and hair below-the pubic, development of the adams apple which causes the lowering of the voice.

It is stimulated by interstitial cell stimulating hormone which is identical with luteinizing hormone, being released by the anterior pituitary under the influence of the lutenizing releasing factor ;)

Testosterone comes in three stages of life.

The 1st one would be in the first trimster of pregnancy... the androgen being produced by the fetal testes is responsible for the male reproductive tract.

2nd is during the puberty stage wherein the testosterone stimulates the overall body growth which is said earlier about male characteristics being developed.

In addition it also stimulates excess secretion from sebaeous glands in the skin causing acne or what we mostly call mantika sa pagmumukha or oily skin... and wherein we start getting to have tigyawat sa ilong for people who are inlove for someone, tigyawat sa noo which means you and your loveone are both inlove with each other, and tigyawat sa pisngi which means someone ha a secre crush on you...(a myth).

This is also the time wherein external genitals attain their fully adult proportions, production of semen, and the capacity for erection and ejaculation are being stimulted. DO YOU KNOW THAT filipino males have an average size of 5 to 7 inches external genitals? NOW YOU KNOW!

For married men ONLY!...So does size really matters? BIGGER IS NOT BETTER. women prefer bigger but what would us male do if were not supersized? Don't worry since there are many ways to compensate. Let us men maximize the use of our genitals by learning some penetration techniques! this involves alternate long and shorts, fast and slow strokes, rolling of the pelvis, and experiment different positions. warning: DO THIS ON THE RIGHT TIME-AFTER MARRIAGE!

3rd stage. The adulthood, in this stage our testosterone is continually secreted to maintain normal reproductive function, sperm production, and sexual behavior. And by the time we are old and gray guess what?!? nakakalungkot man sabihin that we males will decrease our testosterone levels.

here's a video learning more about this stuff..

So i guess thats about it on male gonads and testosterone! I hope that I've gotten you somewhat good and reliable information about our most precious gonad and the stuff it secretes!! hope you had FUN!! :P

Endocrinology, Toxicology, and Drug Testing

ENDOCRINOLOGY

so what is endocrinology about? hormones? so according to my resources...

Endocrinology is a study that deals with the endocrine system and its specializede glands which secretes chemical substances called hormones. It also includes the study of the chemistry functions of hormones of the specialized glands and tissues.These glands which transfers information from one set of cells to another enables the organism to adjust various activities of the body to the changing demands of the external and internal environment.

TOXICOLOGY

toxic a term used to describe something that's been killing us in every manner somehow haha! :P just like how would i describe situations in my life that would almost kill me like my studies and yun lang naman nagpapahirap sakin... tae!! haha

in terms of medical field...Toxicology is the study of poisons, their effects, and antidrotes. Toxicity is the ability of a substance to produce injury upon reaching a susceptible site in or on the body.

And do you know that the dosage period and the period of time over which the dosage occurs determine the effect of a substance on an organism so normally even safe substances can cause illness or death if consumed insufficient amounts or too much intake.

in addition... Toxiclogy has been branched into specialized areas depending on how organisms can be exposed to these substances by various routes. These specialized areas would include:

• Economic toxicology- concerned with chemicals used in drugs, food additives, pesticides, and cosmetics.

• Forensic toxicology- involving the medical and legal aspects of poisonous materials when death or severe injury is the result of their use.

• Industrial toxicology- in which the effects of pollutants in the working environment are evaluated.

• Environmental toxicollogy- which is the evaluation of the synergistic effects of chemicals in the environment.

Drug Testing

drugs as we all know are good somehow for panandaliang aliw but seriously you can put your self into a hell when you deal with this stuffs anyway in the end you might find yourself in prison... and by how?? by DRUG TESTING!

so....Drug testing or drug screening is performed to detect small amounts of any number of metabolites of commonly used drugs. Drug screens are available for a variety of substances including amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates (morphine and herioine), cannabinoids (marijuana), phenycyclidine, and propoxyphene.

Not only is drug testing helpful in identifying users but it also acts as a deterrent.

Substance abuse testing has used urine exclusively as the sample of choice which is generally inexpensive, easily obtained, plentiful and contains large amount of drugs and metabolites.

for example: urine can identify drug usage for 7 to 14 days after the last usage, whereas blood testing reflects drug usage only during the past few hours. Saliva, breath, hair and sweat are becoming increasingly important and accurate specimens for specific drug testing however they are expensive.

drugs makes you ugly!!
