Review: Put the following structures
in order starting with where the
impulse begins and where it ends.
Motor neurons
Receptors
Interneurons
Effectors
Sensory Neurons
Function of
• Regulate all body
the Endocrine processes
System
• Release hormones
(chemicals) into the
BLOOD
–Affect activities of other
cells
Endocrine • Release hormones
glands
What is a • Chemicals that affect
hormone? activities of other cells
(TARGET CELLS)
What is • Cells hormones travel to
a target • Have receptors for
specific
hormones
cell?
• No receptor  no effect
Review:
1. What is the name of the chemical
secreted by endocrine glands?
2. What are the cells that are affected by
hormones called?
3. What do hormones attach to on the
surface of the cell?
4. How much of a hormone is needed?

DID YOU KNOW?
There are approximately 100 billion
neurons in the human brain. The
average brain weighs about 3
pounds.
DID YOU KNOW?
There are about 3 million miles of
axons in the human brain. The
human brain has 100 trillion
synaptic connections.
Did you know…
• The human brain alone consists of about a
100 billion neurons. If all these neurons
were to be lined up, it would form a 600
mile long line.
• As we get older, the brain loses almost one
gram per year.
• In humans, the right side of the brain
controls the left side of the body, while the
left side of the brain controls the right side.
• There are about 13, 500,00 neurons in the
human spinal cord.
• An average adult male brain weighs about
1375 grams. An average adult female brain
is about 1275 grams.
• Only four percent of the brain's cells work
while the remaining cells are kept in
reserve.
