Homeostasis: Glands

What is Homeostasis?

• Maintaining a Stable internal Environment

• Producing Proteins

Which are the 3 main components needed for Homeostasis?

• Receptors

• Coordination Centres

• Effectors

• Enzymes

What do you get when the level of something in the body is too high or too low?

• Negative Feedback Loop

• Positive Feedback Loop

Which one is a Receptor?

• Detects the Stimulus

• Processes the information and Organises a response

• Produces a response which restores the optimum level

Which one is the Coordination Centre?

• Detects the Stimulus

• Processes the information and Organises a response

• Produces a response which restores the optimum level

Which one is an Effector?

• Detects the Stimulus

• Processes the information and Organises a response

• Produces a response which restores the optimum level

Which ones are types of Effectors?

• Muscles

• Glands

Which one is the Pituitary Gland?

• Produces many Hormones and is called the 'Master Gland' because the hormones act on other glands

• Produces Thyroxine which is involved in regulating rate of metabolism, heart rate and temperature

• Produces Adrenaline which is used in the bodies 'fight or flight' response

• Produces Insulin which is used to regulate blood Glucose level

• Produces Oestrogen/Testosterone

Which one is the Thyroid Gland?

• Produces many Hormones and is called the 'Master Gland' because the hormones act on other glands

• Produces Thyroxine which is involved in regulating rate of metabolism, heart rate and temperature

• Produces Adrenaline which is used in the bodies 'fight or flight' response

• Produces Insulin which is used to regulate blood Glucose level

• Produces Oestrogen/Testosterone

Which one is the Adrenal Gland?

• Produces many Hormones and is called the 'Master Gland' because the hormones act on other glands

• Produces Thyroxine which is involved in regulating rate of metabolism, heart rate and temperature

• Produces Adrenaline which is used in the bodies 'fight or flight' response
