Endocrinology | Oxytocin | The Love
Hormone
When two human beings touch each other, their bodies release
oxytocin, also known as the bonding or cuddle hormone. This
hormone is released in high concentrations during the early
stages of love when there's an abundance of dopamine and
norepinephrine, which is an excited stage where the individuals
don't think about anything and just go ahead with their love.
However, as time passes, both male and female start producing
more and more oxytocin, which leads to bonding. Men, on the
other hand, tend to look for ways to get that rush of excitement
again and again, while women often complain about their
husbands not being as romantic as before, such as not bringing
flowers anymore. It's important to note that repeated touch, such
as in a hug or kiss, is not appropriate when there's an orgasm
involved. This can sometimes occur during initial stages of a
relationship when the excitement is high, but should be avoided
as it can lead to unreliable attachment and intimacy.
Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System -
RAAS
Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Excess System The Renin
Angiotensin Aldosterone Excess System is a vital physiological
system that regulates blood pressure. There are approximately 2.5
million blood pressure measuring devices located alongside every
nephron. Nature has provided a master system that ensures every
nephron knows how much blood is coming to it, and whether it is
enough. When blood flows through the glomerular capillaries, some
filtration takes place. In normal blood flow, about 120ml per minute is
filtered through each nephron. However, as this filtered material has a
high concentration of sodium, the cells in the nephrons absorb it back
into the body.
Every nephron has a blood pressure measuring device, as well as a
sodium measuring system. Together, Paul Kasin and Macula Densa
have given a special name to this group. They are held together
