IT IS FOUND ABOVE THE KIDNEY
ADRENAL
20
IT PRODUCES SPECIFIC HORMONES THAT AFFECT THE FUNCTIONING OF THE KIDNEYS, METABOLISM, AND RESPONSE TO STRESSFUL SITUATIONS.
ADRENAL
21
IT ALSO SECRETES BOTH MALE AND FEMALE SEX HORMONES IN BOTH SEXES
ADRENAL
22
IT INCREASES THE UPTAKE OF SODIUM AND WATER IN THE KIDNEY
ADRENAL
22
WHAT ARE THE HORMONES OF THE THYROID
THYROXINE CALCITONIN
23
IT IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE NECK AND BELOW THE VOICEBOX
THYROID
24
IT REGULATES THE RATE OF METABOLISM
THYROID
25
THIS GLAND SECRETES THYROXINE, WHICH CONTAINS IODINE, AND CALCITONIN WHICH CONTROLS CALCIUM LEVELS IN THE BLOODSTREAM.
THYROID
25
WHAT HORMONE CONTAINS IODINE
THYROXINE
26
CONTROLS CALCIUM LEVELS IN THE BLOODSTREAM.
CALCITONIN
26
WHAT IS THE HORMONE OF THE PARATHYROID
PARATHYROID HORMONE
27
THESE ARE FOUR TINY GLANDS CONNECTED TO THE BACK OF THE THYROID GLAND
PARATHYROID
27
THIS REGULATES THE MINERALS IN THE BODY-CALCIUM AND PHOSPHORUS IN THE BLOODSTREAM
PARATHYROID HORMONE
28
WHAT ARE THE HORMONES OF THE PANCREAS
INSULIN GLUCOGEN
29
IT IS LOCATED BENEATH THE STOMACH
PANCREAS
30
CONTROLS THE LEVEL OF SUGAR IN THE BLOOD
INSULIN
31
STIMUALTES THE LIVER TO CONVERT GLYCOGEN TO GLUCOSE
GLUCOGEN
32
CAN OCCUR IF THERE IS LOW SUGAR IN THE BLOOD
HYPOGLYCEMIA
33
WHAT ARE THE HORMONES OF THE THYMUS
ESTROGEN PROGESTERONE TESTOSTERONE
33
IS LOCATED IN THE UPPER CHEST BEHIND THE BREASTBONE
THYMUS
34
IT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN DEVELOPING SOME OF THE BODY'S DEFENSES AGAINST INFECTION
THYMUS
34
THE 2 REPRODUCTIVE GLANDS, OVARIES AND TESTES, PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN REPRODUCTION.
THYMUS
34
IS RESONSIBLE FOR THE REGULATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BODY
HEMEOSTASIS
34
IT REGULATES BODY TEMPERATURE, FLUIDS, SALTS, ACIDS, GASES, AND NUTRIENTS THAT HELP SUPPORT HUMAN LIFE
HEMEOSTASIS
35
THE INTERNAL SYSTEM OF THE BODY RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY TO CHANGES FROM THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OR INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
HEMEOSTASIS
35
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT CONTROL SYSTEMS IN THE BODY
SENSORS CONTROL CENTER COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS TARGETS
35
ARE RECEPTORS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GATERING INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONDITIONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE BODY
SENSORS
36
OF THE BODY IS THE BRAIN WHICH IS PART OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
CONTROL CENTER
37
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM ARE THE _______________ ________ OF THE BODY
COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS
37
THEY CARRY THE INFORMATION TO ALL PARTS OF THE BODY
COMMUNICATING SYSTEMS
38
IS ANY ORGAN, TISSUE, OR CELL THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHANGES IN THE ACTIVITY OF THE BODY IN RESPONSE TO THE MESSAGE RECEIVED
TARGETS
38
PARTS OF THE NEURON
DENDRITES CELL BODY AXON
38
ARE BRACHED CELL COMPONETS THAT RECEIVE STIMULUS FROM OTHER NEURONS OR SENSORY RECEPTORS
DENDRITES
38
CONTAINS A NUCELUS THAT WILL PROCESS THE STIMULUS
CELL BODY
38
WILL TRANSMIT STIMULUS TO A GLAND, MUSCLE, ORGAN, OR OTHER NEURONS
AXON
38
MANY FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY AND PROCESSES OPERATE USING
FEEDBACK SYSTEMS
39
THE BODY MAINTAINS ITS STATE OF BALANCE OR HEMEOSTASIS THROUGH A CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVATED BY MANY
FEEDBACK SYSTEMS
39
TO MAINTAIN NORMAL CELL FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY, INTRACELLULAR SUBSTANCES IN THE ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH AS pH, TEMPERATURE, REQUIRED AMOUNTS OF SUBSTANCES NEEDED BY THE BODY HAVE TO BE RELATIVELY CONSTANT.
FEEDBACK MECHANISMS
39
THE BODY MUST COPE WITH POLUTION, INFECTION, STRESS, AND OTHER CONDITIONS
FEEDBACK MECHANISMS
39
TO MAINTAIN LIFE PROCESSES AND PROPER FUNCTIONS OF THE CELL,
FEEDBACK MECHANISMS
39
THE COMPLEX TISSUES, ORGANS, AND ORGAN SYSTEMS IN OUR BODY MUST RESPOND TO THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS AND SITUATIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
FEEDBACK MECHANISMS
40
THE BODY HAS A VARIETY OF CONTROL SYSTEMS TO KEEP ITS INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT STABLE AND RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAINING HOMEOSTASIS
FEEDBACK SYSTEMS
41
WHAT ARE THE 2 FEEDBACK MECHANISM
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
42
IS A CONTROL SYSTEM TO REDUCE OR MINIMIZE ANY CHANGES OR CONDITIONS OF THE BODY, WHICH KEEPS THE WHOLE SYSTEM STABLE
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
43
IT IS ALSO A MECHANISM THAT REGULATES HOMEOSTASIS
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
44
THE TERM NEGATIVE IS A DEVIATION FROM THE SET POINT
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
44
REFERS TO THE NORMAL VALUE AND IDEAL REQUIREMENT OF THE BODY TO MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS
SET POINT
45
IS A CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT USES INFORMATION FROM SENSORS TO INCREASE THE RATE OF PROCESSES
POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
45
IT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
