Class 11 Biology Chapter 22 Chemical Coordination and Integration: Important Topics

Everything on this earthworks in coordination with some other thing, whether it’s a heavy vehicle, any electronic device, or a Human Body. Our Bodies from inside to outside are inter-connected and coordinate with each other to work. What if someday you get a heart attack? What if someday u are unable to hear, speak, run, sense? What if you get collapsed someday during School assembly? This all happens because our body is internally chemically coordinated, and due to many reasons the coordination gets fails, and you fall ill. So, chemical coordination and integration are very much necessary. Good food, regular exercise, timely medical check-ups, and a healthy hygienic lifestyle will add value to your body’s coordination.

  • Endocrine glands and hormones

The endocrine glands in animals are the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, the thyroid, the parathyroid, the thymus, the pancreas, the adrenal gland, and the gonads. 

Different endocrine glands along with the hormone they release are given below:

  • Hypothalamus- The hypothalamus secretes various releasing hormones like gonadotropin-releasing hormones, growth-hormone-releasing hormones. 
  • Pituitary Gland- Hormones released by this gland are growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, LH, FSH etc.
  • Pineal Gland- It releases the hormone called melatonin.
  • Thyroid Gland- It releases the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). 
  • Parathyroid Gland- The hormone released by this gland is parathormone.
  • Pancreas- The pancreas secretes hormones like glucagon, and insulin and these two balance the blood sugar level in the body.
  • Adrenal glands- The cortex region secretes the hormones cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens while the medulla region secretes the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline.  
  • Gonads- secretes the hormone testosterone.

                Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
                India is one of the megadiverse countries housing around 8·1 per cent of global species diversity, although its land area is only 2·4 per cent of the world’s land area. Many of the species are highly threatened due to human activities like deforestation, mining and habitat fragmentation. Laws like Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 were enacted by the Government of India to preserve our biological wealth. Various conservation measures are being implemented to save the threatened species. The following bar graph shows the number of species conserved under different biodiversity conservation methods.
