Found on the membrane or surface of the cell

Bind to cell surface receptor,

What is Amino-acid hormones?

Found on the membrane or surface of the cell

Found inside the cell nucleus

Bind to cell surface receptor,

What is Neural control?

Nerve fibers stimulate the endocrine organs to release hormones.

Achieved by chain of command.

When hormones rise in the bloodstream

What is Hormonal control?

Achieved by chain of command. (Hypothalamus – Pituitary Gland - endocrine organs - hormones )

Nerve fibers stimulate the endocrine organs to release hormones.

When hormones rise in the bloodstream

What is Negative feedback loop

When hormones rise in the bloodstream

Achieved by chain of command. (Hypothalamus – Pituitary Gland - endocrine organs - hormones )

Nerve fibers stimulate the endocrine organs to release hormones.

What is homeostasis?

Body monitors systems to ensure everything works correctly

Achieved by chain of command. (Hypothalamus – Pituitary Gland - endocrine organs - hormones )

When hormones rise in the bloodstream

Gonadotropin

Releasing hormones

Growth hormone

Causes thyroid to produce hormones

Pituitary Gland

Regulates & controls other glands / hormones endocrine glands

Links endocrine / nervous systems Stimulates pituitary to secrete

Stimulates milk production after birth

Hypothalamus

Links endocrine / nervous systems Stimulates pituitary to secrete

Causes thyroid to produce hormones

Produces progesterone, estrogen & release of eggs

Regulates metabolism

Regulates & controls other glands / hormones endocrine glands

Thymopoietin

Regulates development of immune

System: large at birth gets smaller as older: makes T cells

Regulates salt & water balance, blood volume & pressure; aids in metabolism fats/ proteins & carbs; suppresses inflammatory reactions & helps the immune system;

Thymosin

System: large at birth gets smaller as older: makes T cells

Regulates development of immune

Regulates bodies emergency response

Adrenal cortex

Regulates salt & water balance, blood volume & pressure; aids in metabolism fats/ proteins & carbs; suppresses inflammatory reactions & helps the immune system;

Regulates bodies emergency response

Serves both digestive & endocrine system; regulates glucose
