It refers to the control of the concentration of various liquids within the body, to maintain homeostasis.

What are the two main division of the Nervous System
Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
A tiny gland in your brain that’s beneath the back part of your corpus callosum. It makes and releases the hormone melatonin.
Pineal Gland
THE 3 MAIN PARTS OF THE BRAIN
Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem
The two main human systems involved in maintaining homeostasis.
Endocrine and Nervous
The receiving part of the neuron
dendrites
The number of cranial nerves in the body
12
Olfactory nerve (CN I), optic nerve (CN II), oculomotor nerve (CN III), trochlear nerve (CN IV), trigeminal nerve (CN V), abducens nerve (CN VI), facial nerve (CN VII), vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX), vagus nerve (CN X), accessory nerve (CN XI), and hypoglossal nerve (CN XII).
These are small, triangle-shaped glands on top of each of your two kidneys.
Adrenal Gland
3 main parts of the midbrain
midbrain (mesencephalon), medulla, and pons
The maintenance of physiologic core body temperature by balancing heat generation with heat loss.
Thermoregulation
Neurons that carry signals from the CNS to the outside parts of the body are called?
Motor neurons
Carries messages between the brain and the nerves in the body. It can also control simple reflexes without input from the brain.
Pancreas is both an endocrine and an exocrine gland.
TRUE or FALSE
TRUE
Hormone that stimulates breast milk production after giving birth
Prolactin
The natural physical, mental, and behavioral changes that occur in the body every 24 hours.
Circadian rhythms, biological rhythm, biorhythm, body clock, circadian clock, and daily rhythm
Neurons that sense the environment convert it into electrochemical energy that is sent by sensory
neurons.
Receptor neurons
The "rest and digest" system of the nervous system consists of a network of nerves that helps the body relax and perform basic functions.
Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS)
A temporary endocrine organ that forms during pregnancy.
Placenta
It is also known as the "LOVE HORMONE" or "CUDDLE CHEMICAL"
OXYTOCIN
What does oxytocin do?
A mechanism that helps maintain a constant blood pressure in the body.
Baroreflex or Baroreceptor Reflex
The dense lipid layer that protects nerve fibers and allows electrical impulses to travel quickly and efficiently along the nerves.
Myelin sheath
The nerve that enables the sense of smell is the shortest cranial nerve and is part of the autonomic nervous system.
Olfactory Nerve
Is the heart is an endocrine gland?
YES OR NO
YES
The heart secretes two hormones: A-type natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are hormones that help the cardiovascular system manage blood pressure and fluid levels. They are released from the heart in response to stretching of the heart walls.
the 4 lobes of the brain
parietal, temporal, occipital, and frontal lobes
