Hormonal Control (endocrine System + Blood Glucose Regulation)

Question 2

What are hormones

Answer 2

Hormones are chemical messengers which travels in bloodstream and they are produced by t he endocrine glands

Question 3

Give three examples of endocrine glands that release hormones

Answer 3

Pancreas, testes, ovaries

Question 4

Explain now the endocrine system works

Answer 4

Hormones are carried around the body in the bloodstream until they reach there target tissue where the hormones will have there effect

Question 5

Give on example of hormones travelling in the blood stream land what there target tissue is ).

Answer 5

Insulin’ and glucagon (the hormones) travel in theblood stream to the liver its target tissue

Question 6

Explain the stages of hormonal control

Answer 6

Endocrine gland produces hormone hormone travels bloodstream totarget tissue hormone binds to specific recepter on membrane of target cell

Question 7

What is a receptor like

Answer 7

A receptor 1s like a sign which tells the hormone where to go

Question 8

What is blood glucose regulation

Answer 8

Blood glucose levels must be kept within a narrow concentration range so there’s a steady supply of energy for cells

Question 9

Increased blood glucose regulation?

Answer 9

Pancreas realeses insulin, insulin travels in the blood stream live to the(target tissue) excess glucose is taking to the liver and ‘s converted into glycogen

Question 10

Decreased blood level regulation

Answer 10

Pancreas recluses glucagon which travels in the blood streams to the liver(target tissue) glycogen in the liver breaks down into glucose
