  • Homeostasis
    a process of maintaining a constant internal environment within the body
  • Internal environment
    the blood and tissue fluids that surround all body cells
  • Negative feedback
    operate within the human body and detect changes or imbalances in the internal environment and to restore balance
  • Endocrine gland
    secretions released directly into the bloodstream to be transported to their site of action (ductless)
  • Exocrine gland
    secretions into specific cavity
  • Follicle Stimulating hormone
    egg development
  • Antidiuretic hormone
    osmoregulation
  • Growth Hormone
    growth & division
  • Oxytocin
    birth contractions
  • Prolactin
    milk production
  • Thyroxine
    metabolic rate
  • Adrenalin
    increase blood flow to skeletal muscles, increase cell activity reduce blood flow to un-necessary organs
  • Cortisol
    increases release of fats, converts glucose to glycogen, limits inflation (anti stress)
  • Insulin
    stimulates the absorption of glucose
  • glucagon
    stimulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose
  • Estrogen / progesterone
    menstrual cycle
  • Testosterone
    male characteristics
  • Hormone
    organic chemical messengers
  • Thyroid stimulating hormone
    stimulates secretion of thyroxine
  • Luteinizing hormone
    stimulates ovulation, stimulates testosterone production
  • ACTH adrenocorticotropic hormone
    stimulates the adrenal gland to produce adrenalin and cortisol
  • Cretinism
    caused by severe hypothyroidism in infants
  • Hyperglycemia
    glucose remains in the blood instead of being absorbed
  • Inhibin
    stops the release of FSH
  • Gonadotrophin
    causes the release of LH and FSH
