The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine

Purpose Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ even when the surrounding temperature varies and is of higher or lower temperature than what is normal. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body so as to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius. If this was unable to take place the body may not be able to functions properly and it could result in hypothermia

7‚ 2010 Bio 100 Dr. Valentine Homeostasis and Sleep According to Krogh (2009)‚ homeostasis is the maintenence of a relatively normal internal environment. This means that the body has many systems in place to regulate what happens in our bodies to keep it functioning properly. There are very few functions that we have control over in the homeostatic processes ’ of our bodies. Sleep is one of them. Sleep is very important to the regulation of the body ’s functions. Sleep is regulated by
