#1
Front (Question)

What are the 5 five main endocrine organs? • P? Glands • T? • P? • A? Glands • Gonads

Back (Answer)

• Pituitary glands • Thyroid • Pancreas • Adrenal glands • Gonads

#2
Front (Question)

What is homeostasis? Keeps the body f? working in ideal e?. Ph blood 7.?5- 7.4? Body Temp 37 degrees Homeostatic regulation = adjustments to ph? systems responding to st?.

Back (Answer)

Functions, environment 7.35-7.45 Physiological ,stimuli

#3
Front (Question)

Homeostasis requires 3 components, what are they? • R? • C? Centre • E?

Back (Answer)

Receptor Control Effector

#4
Front (Question)

Homeostasis: Receptors= d? change in stimulus / e? conditions Control centre= p? in? from receptors and tissues and sends commands to e? Effectors= cell/ organ responds to commands from control centre and either en? or op? stimulus. This is either p? or n? feedback

Back (Answer)

Detect , environmental Processes information, effector Enhances , opposes Positive/ negative

#5
Front (Question)

Homeostasis: Negative feedback= Majority of homeostatic systems response O? original stimulus (^ body temperature detected = decrease temperature by s?) E? mechanism is turned off

Back (Answer)

Oppose, sweating Effector

#6
Front (Question)

Homeostasis: Positive feedback= E? original stimulus (blood c? to prevent blood loss)

Back (Answer)

Enhance , clotting

#7
Front (Question)

Hormones > target cells Hormones travel in the b? Bind to r? cell on the cell surface Bind to specific t? cell = specific receptors for specific hormones In turn this modifies the structure/ b? property of the target cell

Back (Answer)

Blood Receptors Target Biochemical

#8
Front (Question)

What are the 3 components of endocrine control? • H? • H? • N?

Back (Answer)

Hormonal Humoral Neural

#9
Front (Question)

Endocrine control: 1. Hormonal~ Reg? hormones are secreted by the hy? • Humoral~ P? cells monitor Ca++ (?) irons in the blood • Neural~ Signals from the n? system

Back (Answer)

Regulatory , hypothalamus Parathyroid , calcium Nervous

#10
Front (Question)

Hormonal: Secretion of ?H regulated by GHRH (?) from the p? Gland

Back (Answer)

Growth , growth hormone releasing hormone Pituitary

#11
Front (Question)

Humoral: Endocrine cells respond to the concentration of ions/ molecules in the blood. Beta islet cells from the p? respond to the increase of blood g? levels by releasing ? Alpha cells = g? Beta cells = I?

Back (Answer)

Pancreas, glucose, insulin Glucogen Insulin

#12
Front (Question)

Neural: Endocrine cells respond to signals from the nervous system. In danger n? from the s? nervous system cause the secretion of e? and n?e?.

Back (Answer)

Neurons, sympathetic, epinephrine , nor epinephrine
