What is the Endocrine System?
What is Network of glands
Name 2 examples of positive feedback?
Thermo
Glucose
Water
What is
Glucose Regulation
Water Regulation
Temperature Regulation
Releases Estrogen and Progesterone
The Ovaries
What is the body's response when body temperature is too low
What is shivering?
What are Glands?
What is structure that make and secrete(release) hormones.
Is Glucose Regulation a positive feedback mechanism?
What is no
What is the definition of Negative Feedback?
what is a mechanism where the response cause the reverse of the detected change.
Releases Insulin and Glucagon
What hormone is released by the Testes?
What is Testosterone?
What 2 Body systems does the Endocrine System work with?
Coordinate and work with the Nervous system
Use the body’s Circulatory system to move hormones
What is the definition of Positive Feedback?
What is a mechanism where the response causes MORE of the detected change.
Is childbirth negative feedback?
What is no?
Releases Adrenaline and Cortisol
Adrenal Gland
Releases T4 and T3
What is the Thyroid Gland?
What is the body's Master Gland?
What is the Pituitary Gland?
What is the end goal of Positive Feedback?
To solve a "Sudden" problem
What is the end goal of Negative Feedback?
What is Homeostasis?
Releases Melatonin
What is the Pineal Gland
Describe the process of Water Control.
Be sure to include the Event, Hormone Response, and Impact on the body in your response
The water level is too high
Less Vasopressin
Lowers the Water level
The water level is too low
More Vasopressin
Raises the Water level
What is the role of the Pituitary Gland?
What is...
Control other glands using hormones
Release Hormones that disrupt other glands
Describe the process of Blood Clotting.
Be sure to include the Stimulus/Responses/End Result
1. Stimulus
Something breaks or tears the blood vessel walls
2. Response
More platelets stick to the cut and release more chemicals
3. More Response
Platelets stick to the site of the cut and release chemicals
4. End
The break or tear is completely sealed off
Describe the process of Glucose Control.
Be sure to include the Event, Hormone Response, and Impact on the body in your response
Blood Sugar (Glucose) is too high
Insulin
Lowers Blood Sugar
Blood Sugar (Glucose) too low
Glucagon
Raises Blood Sugar
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Releases ADH/Growth Hormon/FSH
What is the Pituitary Gland
Describe the process of Childbirth.
Be sure to include the Stimulus/Responses/End Result
1. Stimulus
The baby’s head puts pressure on the Uterus
2. Response
Oxytocin causes contractions that create more pressure, which release more chemicals
3. More Response
Pressure causes the body to release Oxytocin
4. End-
The baby is fully pushed out (labor stops)
