About endocrine system mind maps
GoConqr OriginalWhat the Endocrine System mind maps cover
These user-made maps offer different ways into the unit. Some focus on a gland, such as “The adrenal gland” or “Thyroid gland”. Others follow a hormone or process, including “Growth Hormone”, “Peptide hormone synthesis and secretion” and “Calcium homeostasis”.
For a starting point, try “Simple Feedback Loops and Glands”. Its focus on feedback gives you a route into the more specific gland and hormone maps. You can then open “HPA axis” to follow its branches through the adrenal gland and steroid hormones.
Study with a map
Read one branch at a time, then look away and explain the connections in your own words. Return to the map to check what you missed. Compare related maps when you want another view of a topic.
If you need a written explanation, switch to notes on the unit page. For a recall check, try a quiz there instead. Pick a branch and see what you can explain.
Frequently asked questions
Which mind map should I start with?
“Simple Feedback Loops and Glands” is a useful starting point if you want to focus on feedback before choosing a particular gland. For a more specific topic, try “HPA axis”, which includes branches on the adrenal gland, steroid hormones and related signals.
What topics do the maps cover?
The listed maps cover glands including the adrenal gland, thyroid and pituitary, as well as the hypothalamus. There are also maps on growth hormone, insulin and diabetes, calcium homeostasis, and peptide hormone synthesis and secretion. You can choose a map that matches the topic you are studying.
Are these mind maps free to use?
Yes. Every mind map listed here is free to open and study without an account. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The resources on this page were made by GoConqr users.
