lesson or What was it all about? Our previous lesson was all about the endocrine
presenting system.
the new
lesson What a good memory! Now to check if you really
understand our previous discussion, let us try this
(ELICIT)
(5 minutes) activity entitled, “Raise me up!”

All you have to do is to raise a or

green flag if the given statements tell a
fact about the nervous system, and
raise a
or a red flag if not.
1.
1. The Central Nervous System (CNS) is the
main processing center for the entire
nervous system while the Peripheral
Nervous System (PNS) connects the
 central nervous system to the organs and
limbs by relaying information through the
nerves.
2.
2. The brain and cranial nerves are the two
main components of the central nervous
system.
3.
3. The three main parts of our brain are
cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.
4.
4. The two main divisions of peripheral
nervous system are somatic nervous
system and autonomic nervous system. 5.

5. The two subdivisions of autonomic

nervous system are sympathetic and
parasympathetic.

E. Developing 1. DISCUSSION OF THE CONCEPT

(leads to
Formative
Assessment)

(ELABORATE)
(15 minutes)

Similar to the nervous system, the endocrine

system controls and regulates body processes.
Generally, the endocrine system is in control of the
mechanisms in the body that slowly take place,
such as cell growth. Rapid processes, such as body
movement and breathing, are controlled by the
nervous system. Although these two systems are
different, they work together in a coordinate
manner to enable the body to function properly.
After studying about the nervous system, now you
will learn about the endocrine system, its
functions, and the glands that comprise the system.

How does your endocrine system function?
Great! The endocrine system contains a group of
glands that releases hormones into the body. From
your activity, what are the major glands in the
body?
Endocrine glands secrete chemicals known as
hormones into the bloodstream, which carries
them throughout the body. When a hormone in
the blood reaches the target organ, it produces a
notable effect. The endocrine system sends
signals all over the body, much like the nervous
system, but unlike the instant responses activated
by the nervous system, the effects can take a few
hours or even weeks.
Based from our activity, the major glands in our
body are pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus,
 adrenal, pancreas, testes in males and ovaries in
females.

Excellent! Now, what is the function of pituitary

glands? Pituitary glands stimulate growth, and controls
the functions of other glands.

Very good! How about the thyroid glands? Thyroid glands regulate body metabolism, and
causes storage of calcium in bones.

Awesome! If the thyroid causes the storage of

calcium in bones, what glands is responsible for
controlling the calcium levels in our body and
normalizes bone growth? Anyone? Parathyroid glands ma’am.

That is correct! What is the function of thymus

glands? Thymus glands enables the body to produce
certain antibodies.

How about the adrenal glands? Adrenal glands prepare the body for action,
controls the heart rate and breathing in times of
emergency.

Splendid! And the glands that regulates the blood

sugar levels? Pancreas ma’am.

Great! What are the two glands in reproductive

system? Reproductive glands in males are testes and in
females is ovaries.

How does testes and ovaries work? Testes control maturation and male
characteristics while ovaries influence female
traits, and support reproductive function.

The following table lists all the major glands in the

body, with their functions, locations, and the
hormones they release.

2. APPLICATION
After knowing the different major glands of human
endocrine system, let us answer the following
questions that we usually experienced.
Yes, ma’am.
Have you tried riding a bicycle or a motorcycle?

Imagine you’re riding your bike, and a person or If I am riding my bike, and there is an animal or
animal appears suddenly in front of you. What person suddenly appeared in front of me, I will
should you do? stop or swerve my bike to avoid hitting it.

Exactly! Your body will produce adrenaline, which

leads to an immediate physical reaction. You may
sweat, feel your heart racing, or your body
shaking. This is a healthy, natural response. When
you’re in a dangerous, unsafe, or problematic
situation, this adrenaline can help you react
quickly.

In addition, you can experience an adrenaline rush

when taking the stage at a crowded stadium, before
a competitive sporting event, when you’re on a
roller coaster, or if you’re in the middle of an
argument, among other situations.

3. VALUING
Endocrine system is important to living organism
How important is endocrine system to living because it helps control mood, growth and
organisms? development, the way our organs work, and
reproduce. In addition, it regulates all biological
processes in the body from conception through
adulthood and into old age, including the
development of the brain and nervous system,
the growth and function of the reproductive
system, as well as the metabolism and blood
sugar levels.

In order to keep my nervous system function

In order to keep your nervous system function well, I would get plenty of exercise, eat a
well, what will you do? nutritious diet, go for regular medical checkups,
talk to the doctor before taking any supplements
or herbal treatments, let the doctor know about
any family history of endocrine problems, such as
diabetes or thyroid problems.

Indeed! Therefore, it is very essential. Since it is

important, we have to take good care of our body.
