Control Ed's endocrine glands to regulate his blood sugar, fight or flight
response, sleepiness and more! You will learn about feedback loops
(negative feedback) and will need to apply this knowledge to new situations
in this amusing animated experience!
Hormones and Feedback:
1. Hormones are secreted by an _pineal_ gland.
2. They travel by which method? ____the gland pineal helps the hormone travel
through the vins_____.
3.
Gland pineals have receptors for the hormones.
4. hormone’s is like being in balance or a teeter totter.
5. Once homeostasis is achieved, the cells turns off production of the hormone. This
is called negative feedback.

Complete the diagram:

Pituitary àis a important part of the body àit effect you health ,
body, mental and the all the cells in you body.

Without feedback, what would happen to a person’s height? It would stop growth

Questions:
1. How does a feedback loop work?
Feedback loop works by creating hormones which it goes to the brain which
it make the body produce and absorb.
2. What would happen if negative feedback did not occur?
The opposite of effect would happen.
3. What is the role of the brain?
To process and absorb the hormones tell it need no hormones.
Adrenaline and Stress:
1. List several effects of adrenaline:

2. Adrenaline gets the body ready to makes your heart beat faster and your lungs
breathe more efficiently.
Game: control Ed’s adrenaline

 What is one thing that will raise his adrenaline level?
Quiz:
1. In which situation would adrenaline most likely be secreted by the adrenal glands?

2. When sufficient adrenaline has been secreted, production stops. This is known as
bad feedback.

Melatonin and Sleep:

1. Melatonin production is high when it is processed.
2. It is secreted by the pineal gland.
3. Do melatonin levels remain constant during the night? Yes it still runs in your
body even though you are asleep.

Blood Sugar Hormones:

1. What four areas are affected by insulin (they have insulin receptors)?

2. Insulin causes cells to __rise _ sugar and therefore the cell blood sugar levels.
3. Glucagon causes the stumice to release sugar and cause a rising in blood sugar
levels.

Game: When you exercise, blood sugar levels __decreases causing the release of
pineal gland or blood cell to bring those levels back to normal ranges.

Quiz:

Matching: hormones to their function

_____ 1. Raises blood sugarA. adrenaline

_____ 2. Helps you sleepB. glucagon
_____ 3. Increases muscle strengthC. Insulin
_____ 4. Lowers blood sugarD. melatonin

5. Calcitonin lowers blood calcium adding that calcium to the ____________.

6. The parathyroid ___________ blood calcium by taking the calcium from the
___________.
7. Once homeostasis is reached, hormone release will be __________________.
8. If blood sugar levels are too high, ____________ is released.
9. If blood sugar levels are too low, ______________ is released.
10. Antidiuretics (ADH) help the body retain water by affecting the
_____________ (organ).
 11. You would most likely produce ADH when:
