The human endocrine system – Diagrams/Die menslike endokriene stelsel – Diagramme

Glands to be identified with hormones: Hypothalamus (ADH), Pituitary/Hypophysis (GH, TSH, FSH, LH,
prolactin), Thyroid glands (thyroxin), Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas (insulin, glucagon), Adrenal
glands (adrenalin, aldosterone), Ovary (oestrogen, progesterone) and Testis (testosterone)

Kliere wat geïdentifiseer moet word en hulle hormone: Hipotalamus (ADH), Pituïtêre klier/Hipofise
(GH, TSH, FSH, LH, prolaktien), Tiroïedkliere (tiroksien), Eilandjies van Langerhans in die pankreas
(insulien, glukagon), Byniere (adrenalien, aldosteroon), Ovarium (estrogeen, progesteroon) en die Testis
(testosteroon)
General sequence of events in a negative feedback mechanism
Step 1: An imbalance is detected.
Step 2: A control centre is stimulated.
Step 3: Control centre responds.
Step 4: Message sent to target organ/s.
Step 5: The target organ responds.
Step 6: It opposes/reverses the imbalance.
Step 7: Balance is restored.

Algemene volgorde van gebeure in ’n negatiewe terugvoermeganisme

Stap 1: ’n Wanbalans word waargeneem.
Stap 2: ’n Beheersentrum word gestimuleer.
Stap 3: Beheersentrum reageer.
Stap 4: Boodskap word gestuur na die teikenorgaan(e).
Stap 5: Die teikenorgaan reageer.
Stap 6: Dit teikenorgaan begin die wanbalans omkeer.
Stap 7: Balans word herstel.
