| Question | Answer |
| Waste product of respiration, returned to lungs in blood and breathed out | |
| Centre in brain that monitors body temperature by monitoring temperature of blood | |
| Additional information on temperature may come from which organ | |
| Name given to cells or nerve endings that detect specific stimuli (such as temperature) | |
| The reason why core body temperature needs to be so carefully maintained is for the activity of these molecules | |
| If core body temperture is too high, skin capillaries will do this | |
| This increases blood flow under the skin which will promote heat loss through ___________ | |
| Skin may also produce this in order to promote further heat loss | |
| | Question | Answer |
| If core body temperature is too low, skin capillaries will do this | |
| Muscles may also ___________ in order to increase respiration which releases energy as heat | |
| Organ that monitors and controls blood glucose | |
| Hormone produced when blood glucose levels are too high | |
| Cells in which two parts of the body respond to this hormone by increasing their uptake of glucose | |
| And when they do they convert glucose to... | |
| Hormone released when blood sugar levels are too low | |
| A condition whereby sufferers are unable to secrete enough hormone to control their blood glucose levels | |
