PPT-Lesson 8.1 Functions and Control of the Endocrine System

Chapter 8 The Endocrine System Like the nervous system the endocrine system controls and monitors organs glands and processes in the body The endocrine system does this job by using hormones . Bio 24. The endocrine system. One of two communication systems in the body. Consists of . hormones. : chemicals secreted into the blood that travel throughout the body to act on specific target cells. Mary, Larry, and Melinda . Anatomy of The Skeletal system . -“Skeleton . can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human skeletal system. Joints are very important because they make the hard and rigid skeleton allow different types of movements at different locations. If the skeleton were without joints, no movement would have taken place and the significance of human body; no more than a stone. The endocrine system consists of a complex collection of . glands. that produce chemical messengers called . hormones. .. Its function is to . regulate metabolism, homeostasis, . growth, sexual development, . Review of Renal/Endocrine Physiology course. Course occurs in the 2nd term of Year 1. Course Director – .

The endocrine system produces chemicals that control many of the body’s daily activities.. Also regulates long term changes such as growth and development.. Vocabulary. Endocrine glands: produce and release their chemical products directly into the bloodstream (then carrying throughout the entire body). (pp. 997 - 1008). There are two systems that regulate the body. The . nervous system. relays information to the body using ___ _________________________ that travel very _______, but the messages are short-lived. The . Compare . the endocrine and nervous systems using the Ven. n diagram. . . Label . the diagram to show . the location of glands and . state . the hormones they produce.. Exam question (use Bullet points):. The nervous system and endocrine system controls different types of activities in the body. . They are jointly responsible for the functioning of all the different organs and systems, this is known as coordination.
