Essential Biochemistry, Endocrinology and Nutrition
Biochemistry is the examine of the chemistry of dwelling organisms, of the ways that meals is used to serve all of the many desires of the physique. Biochemistry is heavily hooked up with food, the learn of the kinds and quantities of assorted fabrics required within the vitamin. Biochemistry is additionally inextricably int~rtwined with endo crinology, the learn of hormones, for many of the hormones exert their activities by means of changing the behaviour of chemical reactions in the physique.

This rhythm has a period of approximately 24 hours, and is ordinarily synchronized by light. The relation of the ovulation clock to lighting appears to be similar in many ways to that of the adrenal clock (Section I,C), and to the pineal clock which regulates 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) content but not hydroxyindole-O-methyl transferase (HIOMT) activity (Section V,D). III. The Responses of Animals to Light A. Direct Effects of Light Photic stimuli influence the physiology and behavior of animals in a variety of ways.

Visual, Reflex, and "Neurovégétative" Functions of Light Photic information serves at least three functions in higher animals: ( 1 ) it provides the raw material of the complex physiological-psychological phenomenon of vision; (2) it stimulates the optic autonomie reflexes, such as those regulating pupillary size, and (3) it controls, to an extent which varies among species, certain "neurovégétative functions" such as gonadal maturation and the endocrine rhythms described above.
