Q

How is body temperature kept constant

A

Sweat evaporates front he surface of your skin

You flush and lose heat by radiation through your skin

Q

ADH and osmoregulation

A

Solute of concentration up/down
Detected in hypothalamus
Pituitary gland releases more ADH
ADH travels to kidney tubules
More/less water reabsorbed into blood
Small/large amount of of concentrated wine formed
Blood concentration of so lutes restored to normal
ADH production falls to normal/arises again

Q

Kidneys

A

Excretes urea

Urine, sweating, breathing out, faeces remove too much water

Q

Kidney functions

A

Balances the amount of water left in the blood
You take in mineral ions with your food these are lost in sweat
Removed in urine

15
Q

Why must salt be balanced with

A

Must be balanced with water

So cells don’t have problems with Osmosis

16
Q

What do kidneys control

A

Filter the blood

Control the amount of water/ions taken in

17
Q

Core body temperature controlled by

A

The thermoregulatory centre in the brain

18
Q

Diabetes

A

When the body doesn’t produce ip enough insulin to keep the glucose level constant

19
Q

Problems of glucose…causing diabetes

A

Blood sugar may rise to fatally high levels when cells are starved of glucose for respiration

20
Q

When can sugar be excreted

A

During urination

21
Q

How can diabetes be treated

A

By injecting insulin before meal times

22
Q

Glycogen and insulin

A

Keep glucose at a 4-6 mol/1 concentration for cell respiration

23
Q

Pancreas (insulin, glycogen)

A

Pancreas monitors blood sugar level

1) Decrease in blood sugar level 2)rise in blood sugar level
1) Glycogen released 2)insulin released
1) Glycogen to glucose 2)glucose to glycogen

24
Anti doctrine hormone (ADH) | found/job
Pituitary gland | Controls water content of the blood
25
Insulin and glycogen | found/job
Pancreas | Lowers/ raises blood glucose levels
26
Adrenaline | found/job
Adrenal glands | Prepares the body for fight or flight
27
Oestrogen | found/job
Controls development if female secondary sexual characteristics
28
Progesterone | found/job
Ovaries | Controls development of female secondary sexual characteristics
29
Progesterone
Ovaries | Regulates the menstrual cycle
30
Testosterone
Testes Male secondary sexual characteristics involved in sperm production
31
Endocrine System
Second system that coordinates and controls your body
32
Endocrine glands
Make hormones that are released into the blood | And carried around the body to the targeted organs
