= ﻿__ENDOCRINE SYSTEM__ []= ** Endocrine system and what is it? ** **· **  Our body produces its own chemicals to control some functions in the body. The system that mainly control or coordinates the chemicals is ** [|endocrine system]. //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// ** 

[]

** · **** [|Hormones] **** (pronounced: hor-moanz) is the chemicals that control the functions in our body. **
 * Hormones and how does it works? **

= //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// = ** · **** It gets information and sends it from one set of cells to another. **

= //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// = ** o **** It also sends the instructions. **

= //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// = ** o **** Each type of hormone controls each group of cells. **

= //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// = **· **** Hormones move through the bloodstream. //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// ** **· ** Mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and sexual function and reproductive processes. //(Endocrine System)//

**· **[|**Homeostasis**] ** known as temperature, amount of water, salt and water inside our body that constant. ** **· **** Endocrine system **** produces hormones to maintain homeostasis in an organism. ** **· **** Releases hormones to stimulate the pituitary. ** ** 1. **** The hypothalamus releases hormones that stimulate the pituitary. ** ** 2. **** Pituitary releases hormones that will stimulate the thyroid. ** ** 3. **** The thyroid will then release heat to warm up the body. ** ** 4. **** When our body warm up, then pituitary and thyroid stop releasing hormones, because hypothalamus stop. ** ** //(Your Brain & Nervous System)// ** ** [] ** o Cells that come into a group and produce chemicals (hormones). o It picks and discharge materials in the blood stream and sends them into another part of our body. ** o **** Hypothalamus and Pituitary [|glands] are most important. **  o Hypothalamus gland locates in our brain. ** § **Hypothalamus controls both nervous system and endocrine system. ** o **** Hypothalamus controls Pituitary gland ** ** § **** The two glands control the endocrine system. ** ** Examples: **

Vocabulary ** Homeostasis: ** known as temperature, amount of water, salt and water inside our body that constant. ** Feedback: The changes of enhance or buffer that appear in the systems. ** ** Negative feedback: tends that make the system remain in an equilibrium state ** ** Positive feedback: The changes of enhances or amplifies in the system could to make the system even unstable. ** Releasing hormone: The process that gland organs that release hormones.
 * Glands: The organs that help to release hormones **
 * Hormones: **** the chemicals that control the functions in our body. **
 * Hypothalamus: Send hormones to pituitary gland. **
 * Pituitary gland: Control by the Hypothalamus gland. ( **Nowicki, Stephen. // McDougal Littell Biology //. Evanston, IL: McDougal Littell, 2008. Print.)
