the endocrine system up to slide 33
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1control of hormones- by increasing/decreasing the secretion of hormones it increases/decreases the level in the blood
- hormones are excreted in urine and broken down by the liver enzymes
- Negative Feedback = the mechanism that control hormone secretion - 2steps of hormone secxretion1. Nervous system directly stimulates a certain gland
2. hypothalamus regulates the release of the hormone from the anterior pituitary gland
3. other glands respond directly to internal changes - 3How is the Humoral Stimuli is triggered?Changing blood levels of certain ions or nutrients
- 4How is the Neural Stimuli triggered?Nerve fibre Stimulation
- 5How is the hormonal stimuli triggered?Hormone is released due to the production of other hormones.
- 6What are the three types of hormonal interaction?-Permissiveness
-Synergism
-Antagonism - 7Pituitary Gland...- The master gland
