ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
SCIENCE 10
THIRD QUARTER S.Y. 2023-2024
LESSON OBJECTIVES:

Identify the major endocrine glands in the

human body and their functions.

Explain the effect of a particular hormone

in the body if not properly regulated.
REVIEW OF THE PAST LESSON

NERVOUS SYSTEM
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM -composed of many
glands that secrete chemical messengers
called hormones to the blood vessels to
regulate the different activities of the body.
GROUP ACTIVITY
WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT IF A
PARTICULAR HORMONE IN THE
BODY IS NOT PROPERLY
REGULATED?
HORMONES GREATLY INFLUENCE
GROWTH, APPERANCE, EMOTIONS
AND REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTIONS

Hormones act in very small amounts.

An increase/decrease in the said
amount may result in a body disorder
due to hormonal imbalance.
HOMEOSTATIS
Do you ever wonder why you
chill whenever you’re feeling
cold and you sweat whenever
you’re feeling hot?
To maintain homeostasis,
coordination between the
nervous system and the
endocrine system is essential.
PARTS OF THE FEEDBACK LOOP

1. Stimulus – something that disrupts the body’s

homeostasis.
2. Sensor – detects the change in homeostasis.
3. Control Center – part of the body that responds to the
change and takes action. The
pituitary gland in the brain is the
control center.
4.Effector – any organ or cell that ultimately responds to
the stimulus.
5.Response – a response from the effector balances out
the original stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the maintenance of internal
balance in an organism despite changes in the
environment. This mechanism is responsible for
regulation and maintenance of the internal
environment of our body.

To maintain homeostasis, coordination between

the nervous system and the endocrine system is
essential.
