Endocrine system, glucose, water and nitrogen GapFill

Hormones play a vital role in the coordination of the body systems. Tissues that produce hormones are called  enzyme glandsexocrine glandsfrontal glandsinsulin glandsexcretory glandsendocrine glands. They are distributed across the body, and many of the glands are controlled by a single master gland -  the glucosal glandthe endocrine glandthe adrenal glandthe hypothalamusthe thyroid glandthe pituitary gland.

The pancreas is the endocrine tissue that is responsible for  blood insulin concentrationblood calcium concentrationblood glucose concentrationproducing calciumexcreting glucoseproducing glucose. When the concentration is high, the pancreas is stimulated to produce  testosteroneoestrogenserotoninglucagonadrenalineinsulin. This causes the movement of  ureahaemoglobinoxygenglucoseglycogenantibodies from the blood into cells, such as in the  gall bladderkidneyappendixlungsheartliver and muscle cells, and excess is converted into  glycogenadrenalinestarchamino acidscelluloseglucagon.

Failure to control blood glucose concentration is an indicator of diabetes.  FatalType 3ChronicAcuteType 1Type 2 diabetes is when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin, as opposed to the body no longer being able to respond to the insulin produced.

Water is lost from the body in a number of ways, including through sweat, as  hairvapourdead skinsteampheromonesice and in urine, though  breathingsweatingbleedingurinationskin sheddinghair loss is the only way in which water balance can be controlled.
