10. Lesson Objectives
1. locate the glands in the
body; and
2. appreciate the importance
of glands in the endocrine
system.
11. Hormonal Boards:
Word Search!
Directions:
• Each group will have a messenger and a writer and
the rest of the group members will form a circle in their
station.
• The members in the station will answer the posted
question QUIETLY.
• Then, the messenger will transmit the answer to the
writer THROUGH WHISPER.
12. Hormonal Boards:
Word Search!
Directions:
• The writer will hold the Hormonal Board and wait
for the message of the messenger.
• Then, he/she will circle the word in the hormonal
board.
• If the writer is done, he/she MUST RAISE his/her
BOARD.
31. MORE DISCOVERIES!
Groups who got the right
answers will give additional
information about the glands
they answered correctly.
32. Nervous System and
Endocrine System
The nervous system works with
the endocrine system to detect
and transmit signals from
internal and external stimuli to
maintain homeostasis in the
body.
33. Nervous System and
Endocrine System
The nervous system uses
electrical impulses to send
messages through neurons while
endocrine glands use hormones
to send messages to the target
cells through the bloodstream.
34. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system ( endo- “within
or inside,” and krinein- “to secrete”) is
made up of several glands.
35. GLANDS
These glands are located
throughout the body that
create and secrete or
release hormones into the
bloodstream.
37. Hormones cause changes in activity in
these target cells and direct a variety of
cellular activities to keep the body in
homeostasis.
38.
39. ENDOCRINE GLANDS AND THEIR HORMONES
• Located at the base of
the brain.
• Connected to
hypothalamus.
• Stimulates the growth
• Controls the functions of
other glands.
• Divided into Anterior and
posterior lobes.
