A femoral hernia occurs when the intestine enters the canal carrying the femoral artery into the upper thigh. Femoral hernias are most common in women, especially those who are pregnant or obese. In an umbilical hernia, part of the small intestine passes through the abdominal wall near the navel.
Parathyroid hormone is the most important endocrine regulator of calcium and phosphorus concentration in extracellular fluid. This hormone is secreted from cells of the parathyroid glands and finds its major target cells in bone and kidney.
Target tissues and organs are those who cannot produce their own hormones rather hormones are targeted towards them from the pituitary gland.The hypothalamus send signals to tâ¦he anterior pituitary gland which releases hormones and those hormones are carried by the blood to target tissues.
