• medulla

• neuron

Chemical signals released by the organs of the endocrine system are called _______________.

• Hormones

• Reflexes

• Nerve messages

• Parathyroid

This coordinates movements and balance

• cerebrum

• cerebellum

• thalamus

• hypothalamus

When the amount of a particular hormone in the blood reaches a certain level, the endocrine system sends signals that stop the release of that hormone in a process called__________________.

• endocrine feedback

• positive feedback

• negative feedback

• Circulatory and Endocrine

• Immune and Endocrine

• Muscular and Nervous

Homeostasis

• allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment

• is impossible in vertebrates

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation

_____________ is released by your pancreas when blood glucose levels get too high.
