“A Wonderful Creation”

 
While in the course, the subject Endocrinology and Toxicology was a delight. It was one of the subjects that I enjoyed and was challenged the most. It just excites me for some reason.

Endocrinology is a study dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases, and its specific secretions called hormones. These hormones are the substances, usually peptides or steroids, produced by some tissues and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity, such as growth or metabolism. They travel throughout the body and act as chemical messengers. The endocrine system secretes hormones in response to environmental stimuli and to orchestrate developmental and reproductive changes. On the other hand, Toxicology is concerned with the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. Basically, in our class, we talked about illegal drugs more but studied also the symptoms, mechanisms, treatments and detection of poisoning, especially the poisoning of people. In Toxicology, the chief criterion regarding the toxicity of a chemical is the dose. All substances are toxic under the right conditions. The relationship between dose and its effects on the exposed organism is of high significance in this subject.

The informative studies about Endocrinology and Toxicology that we had is very helpful for us, the students, for us to understand more and be able to have more knowledge about this matter. Endocrinology, together with Toxicology has their way of working hand in hand. In general, the subject greatly discussed the main functions, their importance, especially to human beings, and how they can be enhanced or improved, in each of the studies' way to make life at better state.

The wonder beyond these studies remains a question in the minds of each of us. It is amazing on how these are made possible. Their  functions and importance were given a highlight in this subject matter. The subject made me realize and appreciate more the value of life. The beauty that forms a human being that was given was able to provide us a lot of useful and necessary knowledge for us to improve our studies and our way of living. All I can say is, we need to take much care for our bodies.

Indeed, it is a wonderful creation.
