Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment despite changing external conditions Ensures that the organs of the body operate within their normal limits thereby working efficiently Based on a feedback system Information is sent to a control center which directs the organ to react accordingly Two major control centers: 1. Brain of the nervous system 2. Glands of the endocrine system Several factors must be regulated including: 1. Temperature 2. Heart rate 3. Respiratory rate 4. Blood pressure 5. Water balance 6. Blood sugar levels. 7. Detoxification Activity Organs involved Center of Control Temperature Skin Hypothalamus ...
Endocrine gland Main hormone Function Pituitary gland Growth hormone (GH) • Controls growth Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) • Stimulates the reabsorption of water in the kidneys (osmoregulation) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) • Stimulates the formation of egg follicles in the ovary & the formation of sperms in the testes. Luteinising hormone (LH) • Brings about ovulation Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) • Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. Endocrine gland Main hormone Function Thyroid gland Thyroxine • Control growth • Controls the rate of metabolism Testis (plural : testes) Androgen • Stimulates the development & maturation of the testes • Controls the development of male secondary sexual characteistics Adrenal gla...
• Hormone = an organic chemical compound produced by an endocrine gland & is transported by blood to its target organ to obtain a certain response. An endocrine gland is a ductless gland . To synthesise & secrete hormones. The hormones are secreted into the blood stream à reach all parts of the body. à only certain organ will respond ( target organ of the hormone) • Both nervous system & endocrine system are involved in the coordination of body functions. Nervous system – detecting changes in the external environment & obtains relatively quick responses. Some physiological activities occur over a long period of time (menstrual cycle, development of secondary sexual characteristics & growth) à cannot be regulated by nervous system. • It is necessary to have an endocrine system to regulate them. The ES complements the NS in coordinating body activities.
