Biology B1a Pupils choose 9 words from a list such as the one below and insert the words into their bingo card. homeostasis temperature blood water blood sugar diabetes 37ºC hormones CNS glands receptor effector kidneys pituitary gland enzymes pancreas glucose Possible questions: 1) The process which helps maintain a constant internal environment in our bodies is called…..? HOMEOSTASIS 2) This must be kept constant in order for enzymes to work at their optimum. TEMPERATURE 3) This is a fluid which carries cells such as RBC’s and glucose around our bodies. BLOOD 4) The amount of this in our bodies is controlled by the kidneys. WATER 5) This is controlled by hormones released from the pancreas. BLOOD SUGAR 6) This is a disease which prevents the control of blood sugar. DIABETES 7) The body must be kept around this temperature. 37ºC. 8) These are chemical messengers. HORMONES 9) This is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. CNS 10) These make and secrete hormones into the blood. GLANDS 11) These are found clumped together in the sense organs and they detect any changes. RECEPTORS 12) These are organs or muscles which respond to a stimulus. EFFECTOR 13) These organs help control the amount of water and ions in our body. KIDNEYS 14) This is a gland found in the centre of the brain which makes and secretes specific hormones. PITUITARY GLAND 15) These are protein molecules which speed up reactions and work more effectively in out body at 37ºC. ENZYMES 16) This organ secretes hormones which are necessary for maintaining blood sugar levels. PANCREAS 17) This is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells. GLUCOSE BINGO BINGO BINGO
