          • Provide cells with constant supply of glucose for respiration
            • The lungs
              • When we exhale
    • Reflexes
      • Actions are automatic and rapid
      • Receptor detects a stimulus
        • change in the environment
      • sensory neurone
        • sends signal to relay neurone
      • motor neurone
        • sends signal to effector
      • Effector
        • produces a response
    • The endocrine system
      • Hormes
        • Composed of glands that secrete chemicals
          • Called hormones directly into the blood stream.
        • where are they in the body?
          • Head downwards
      • The pituitary glands
        • The master gland
          • several hormones into the blood in response to body conditions
        • Controls growth in children
