Welcome to your human endocrine system Name Email Match the properties of nervous response together Type of signal Effectors Type of response Duration of response Speed of response Transmission of signal By nerve cells (neurones) Electrical (chemical at synapses) Very rapid Muscles or glands Short (until nerve impulses stop) Muscle contraction or secretion Match the properties of hormonal response together Effectors Transmission of signal Type of response Duration of response Speed of response Type of signal Slower Long (until hormone is broken down) Chemical change Target cells in particular tissues Chemical By the bloodstream Match them to their definitions hormone homeostasis negative feedback to lower raised levels of something, and to raise reduced levels of something. Chemical messenger produced in glands and carried by the blood to specific organs in the body The maintenance of steady conditions. The ability of the body to maintain a constant internal environment Fill in the blank spaces. Explain how level of thyroxine is controlled using negative feedback Low thyroxine levels in the bloodstream stimulate the 1) to release 2) and this causes the pituitary to release 3) so the thyroid releases more 4) . So blood levels return to normal.Normal thyroxine levels in the bloodstream inhibit 5) release from the 6) and this inhibits the release of 7) from the pituitary, so normal blood levels are maintained. Match them to their roles Thyroxine Adrenaline glucagon Insulin send message to release some of that stored glucose into the blood stimulates the basal metabolic rate preparing the body for 'flight or fight regulates the level of sugar in the blood The question is about diabetes. Match them to their definations diabetes Type 2 diabetes Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the blood glucose levels remain too high is a disorder in which the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin In type 2 diabetes the person's body cells no longer respond to insulin produced by the pancreas 1 out of 6 Time's upYou cannot switch tabs while taking this quiz!You are not allowed to switch tabs violation has been recorded.you cannot minimize full screen mode!You are not allowed to minimize full screen while taking this quiz, violation has been recorded.Access denied!
