I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
All of the systems within the body interact with one another to keep an
organism healthy. Although each system has specific functions, they are all
interconnected and dependent on one another. The nervous system controls various
organs of the body directly while the endocrine system is the collection of glands that
produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue
function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.
MELC: Describe how the nervous system coordinates and regulates these
feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. (S10LT-IIIc-36)
Objectives:
1. Explain the role of the Nervous System and the Endocrine system in
maintaining homeostasis.
2. Identify the importance of maintaining homeostasis.
3. Explain how Nervous system work together with Endocrine system to
maintain homeostasis.
III. ACTIVITIES
A. Activity 1A. Item #’s 1-8: Label the parts of Nervous and Endocrine system.

Direction: Answer the following questions legibly. Write your answer on your answer
sheet.
What are the major organ systems responsible for coordinated functions in
human body? Explain why these are both important in enabling the body to
maintain homeostasis (5pts.)
Activity 1.C.
FLASHCARDS OF LEARNING (FOL)
Direction: Write your definition for the given words on your answer sheet.
B. Analysis
What are the roles of the Nervous and endocrine system in maintaining
homeostasis based on the given activities?
C. Abstraction
To achieve homeostasis (the state reached when each part of the body functions
in equilibrium with every other part) the nervous and endocrine systems maintain a
normal range of the following variables:
Body temperature
Amount of water in the body
Amount of metabolic wastes in the cell
Blood calcium level
Hormones in the blood
D. Application
1. What might happen to a person whose nervous and endocrine system fail to
maintain homeostasis?
2. Suppose a boy skipped his lunch for the day. How will the hormones
(glucagon) from his pancreas help his body to cope when his blood sugar
level drops below normal?
3. Suppose a girl ate too many sweets such as candies and chocolates, how will
the hormones (insulin) from her pancreas help her body cope with a possible
blood sugar level rise above normal?
