Chapter 28, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The survey the landscape figure in the chapter introduction and add two other organ systems to the pull it together concept map, also connect an endocrine gland to each term and explain the effect of hormone in the maintenance of homeostasis.
Concept introduction:
The endocrine system regulates and coordinates the body functions by means of chemical substances called hormone. The endocrine system regulates the functions which require maintained responses.
