What is a synapse?
A cell that helps speed up messages along neurones
The end terminals of nerve cells
A gap between two adjoining neurones

A club in Sheffield
A contraction of a muscle
What is the purpose of a reflex?
to respond to our surroundings
to communicate
to keep our body from harm
to help us get energy

Heart
Liver
Which hormone reduces blood sugar levels?
Glucagon
Glycogen
Insulin
Adrenaline
Which hormone increases blood sugar levels?
Glycogen
Insulin

What effect does insulin have on the liver?
Causes the liver to convert glycogen to glucose
Causes the liver to convert glucose to glycogen
What effect does glucagon have on the liver?
Causes the liver to convert glycogen to glucose
Causes the liver to convert glucose to glycogen
Why do hormones only have an effect on specific target organs/tissues?
hormones only travel to target tissues
target tissues have complementary receptor proteins to each hormone.
hormones are only released into specific target organs.
