    I make charts for everything. If you have something like Word, you can usually select a Table option and make your own charts. Then you can have columns for the name, where it comes from, where it goes, what it does, decreased levels, increased levels, etc. Personally I like this better than making flashcards, and then I can stick the pages in page protectors for easy reference.

    Make note cards. One side for the Hormone, the other side for its functions. That's what i did to get thru it. Also, the name helps describe what it does (for the most part). Use quizlet.com for help.

    Physiology Endocrine System

    The endocrine system affects bodily activities by releasing chemical messages, called hormones, into the bloodstream from exocrine and endocrine glands. The function of hormones is to:

    • Control the internal environment by regulating its chemical composition and volume
    • Respond to environmental changes to help the body cope with emergencies - infection, stress etc
    • Help regulate organic metabolism and energy balance
    • Contribute to the management of growth and development

    Hormones are chemicals that cause certain changes in particular parts of the body. Their effects are slower and more general than nerve action. They can control long-term changes such as rate of growth, rate of activity and sexual maturity.

    The endocrine or ductless glands secrete their hormones directly into the blood stream. The hormones are circulated all over the body and reach their target organ via the blood stream. When hormones pass through the liver, they are converted by the kidneys. Tests on such hormonal products in urine can be used to detect pregnancy.

    Fill this out and it turns into a study sheet.
