Endocrine System flowcharts

What the endocrine system flowcharts cover

These flowcharts trace processes and compare hormone types. Calcium Regulation follows changes to vitamin D through the skin, liver and kidney. Flowchart Glucose Regulation shows a response to high blood glucose. Peptide vs Steroid Hormones compares features including transport, timing and mechanism of effect.

How to study with a flowchart

Start with Pituitary Gland Summary if you want an overview of the gland's lobes and hormones. For a pathway focused on a response, The Stress Response follows a sequence from a stressor to the hypothalamus.

Read the steps in one flowchart, then cover it and explain the sequence in your own words. Return to the chart to check what you missed. When you want a written explanation, switch to notes on the Endocrine System unit page; use a quiz there when you want to test what you remember.

Pick a pathway and follow it through.
