• Receptors
• Coordination centres
• Homeostasis
• Stimulus

Muscles or glands which bring about a response

• Reflex action
• Endocrine system
• Insulin
• Effectors

An automatic and rapid action

• Reflex action
• Endocrine system
• Insulin
• Effectors

Consists of glands that release hormones into the blood to get to a target organ to cause a response

• Reflex action
• Endocrine system
• Insulin
• Effectors

Released from the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels and causes glucose to move from the blood into the cells. It causes glucose to be converted into glycogen for storage in the liver

• Reflex action
• Endocrine system
• Insulin
• Effectors

Released from the pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels and causes glycogen to be broken down into glucose and released back into the blood

• Glucagon
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Oestrogen

When the pancreas does not produce enough insulin

• Glucagon
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Oestrogen
