Guest Lecture Biology FMIPA UNEJ: Dr. Mohd Noor Hisham Mohd Nadzir from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)

Dr. Mohd Noor Hisham Mohd Nadzir from the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia, returned to give a guest lecture on Animal Physiology (20/9). With the theme “Endocrinology & Reproductive Physiology of Beef Cattle,” the guest lecture was attended by students of the Animal Physiology course, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember online. At the beginning of the material, Dr. Noor Hisham introduced endocrinology. “Endocrinology is the study of hormones, and hormones are very important for daily survival as chemical messengers that move from one cell to another,” he explained. This guest lecture was moderated by Purwatiningsih, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D.

It is said that scientifically, hormones communicate this effect through their unique chemical structure, which is recognized by specific receptors on their target cells. “Hormones will tell us or animals how to control various physiological activities, such as growth, development, puberty, alertness levels, sugar and appetite regulation, bone growth, and stress,” he explained. In short, hormones influence aspects of our daily lives to ensure that the body maintains the balance necessary for health and survival. Continue reading
