Human Endocrine and its parts and functions)

What have you learned about the presentation?

The endocrine system controls and

Very good! regulates body processes. Generally, the
endocrine system is in control of the
mechanisms in the body that slowly take
place, such as cell growth.

What do you think is the main function of the

LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 10 (Quarter 3, Coordinated Functions of the Nervous, Endocrine,
and Reproductive Systems)

Endocrine System in the human body?

Good. Today we will study the different parts and Endocrine System controls and regulates
functions of the Endocrine System. After the lesson, body processes.
you will be able to a. identify the different parts
and functions of Endocrine System;
b. appreciate the important functions of endocrine
glands in the body;
c. perform an activity to explain the importance
of endocrine glands and their functions.

(The teacher will present the different parts of the

Nerve cells and their functions using a PowerPoint
Presentations)

The Endocrine system is composed of glands that

secrete different types of hormones that affect almost
every cell, organ, and function of our body. It is
essential in regulating growth and development,
metabolism, as well as reproductive processes and
mood.

How does your endocrine system function? Endocrine

glands secrete chemicals known as hormones into the
bloodstream, which carries them throughout the body.
When a hormone in the blood reaches the target
organ, it produces a notable effect. The endocrine
system sends signals all over the body, much like the
nervous system, but unlike the instant responses
activated by the nervous system, the effects can take a
few hours or even weeks.

The endocrine system contains a group of glands that

release hormones into the body. The following table
lists all the major glands in the body, with their
functions, locations, and the hormones they release.

4. You will be rated using a rubric.

Activity Proper

Activity 1
Who’s in Control??

Objective: Identify the major endocrine glands in the

human body and their functions.

Procedure:
1. Study each picture that depicts the involvement of a
particular gland in the endocrine system. Write down
LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 10 (Quarter 3, Coordinated Functions of the Nervous, Endocrine,
and Reproductive Systems)

the name of the endocrine gland and explain its effect,

according to its function.

Post Activity

Guide Questions:
1. Which gland of the endocrine and nervous system
controls the other glands in the body?
2. How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid
glands in terms of location and function?
3. If a person’s blood sugar level becomes unstable,
what glands might be involved in the problem?
4. How important is the thymus gland in keeping your
body free from diseases?
5. What might happen to a person born without a
thymus gland?
6. How will you explain the sudden boost of energy,
increased strength and extraordinary ability to lift very
heavy objects especially during emergency situations?
7. Why is injecting insulin an essential part of the
daily regime for most people with diabetes?
8. Why does the menstrual cycle stop during
menopause?
9. How do oral contraceptives, specifically birth
control pills, prevent pregnancy?
10. Breastfeeding releases oxytocin and prolactin,
hormones that relax the mother and make her feel
more nurturing toward her baby. On the other hand,
how does the baby benefit from the production of
these hormones in the mother’s body?

d. Generalization

The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete

LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 10 (Quarter 3, Coordinated Functions of the Nervous, Endocrine,
and Reproductive Systems)

chemicals called hormones to control various body

processes. This control system usually brings about
slow changes in the body because chemical
messengers move more slowly than nerve impulses.
The major glands in the body are the pituitary,
thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal, pancreas,
ovaries, and testes.

e. Assessment

The student will be assessed based on the activity.

a) Assignment

Research in advance on the effects of hormones in the

body.

Part 1.

I. Objectives:

a. explain the effect of a particular hormone in the body if not properly regulated;
b. relate on the effects of hormones by giving examples of some hormonal imbalances;
c. perform an activity to identify which gland in the endocrine system is involved in each
dysfunction and effect of hormonal imbalance that was observed.

(Present an Audio-visual presentation about the

hormones and its function)

What have you learned about the presentation?

Good! Hormones may have beneficial and

negative effects in our body.

What do you think is the main function of the

hormone in the body?
That’s right.
Both men and women produce hormones in the same
areas with one exception, the reproductive glands.
Additional male hormones are produced in the testes
while female hormones are produced in the ovaries.
Some hormones have short-term effects while other
Several processes in the body are coordinated
by hormones which regulate and balance the
working of organs, tissues, and cells. The
endocrine system influences how your heart
beats, how your bones and tissues develop,
and even your capacity to have a baby. It
plays an essential role in the occurrence of
disorders such as diabetes, thyroid disease,
growth disorders, and/or sexual dysfunction.
LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 10 (Quarter 3, Coordinated Functions of the Nervous, Endocrine,
and Reproductive Systems)

hormones have long-term effects such as those that

control our growth and the changes at the onset of
puberty. During puberty, there are many hormonal
changes that happen in your body. One moment you
laugh, and then suddenly you feel like crying. Sudden
mood swings are relatively caused by the increasing
amount of hormones in the body at this stage. It is
therefore important to maintain a positive outlook in
life and remember that these changes are only
temporary and will stabilize with time.

Hormones act in very small amounts. If the organ and

hormones do not produce the regulated amount of
chemicals to your body, it may result in an
abnormality of your body. This condition is called
hormonal imbalance. An increase or decrease in its
amount may have a significant effect in the human
body.

The next activity will get you acquainted with the

different disorders in the endocrine system due to
hormonal imbalance and the hormones responsible for
them.

1. Identify which gland in the endocrine system is
involved in each dysfunction and explain the effect of
hormonal imbalance that was observed.

2. Write a one-paragraph essay about how one of these

conditions will affect your life if you have dysfunction
due to the effect of hormonal imbalance

not producing enough growth hormones?
2. What will happen to a person with excessive
secretion of growth hormones from the pituitary
gland?

d. Generalization

Hormones affect various processes in the body as they

regulate and balance the functioning of organs,
tissues, and cells. Hormones have great impact on
your growth, appearance, emotions, and reproductive
functions. These determine whether or not you
develop disorders such as diabetes, thyroid disease,
growth disorders, or sexual dysfunction. Hormones
act in very small amounts. An increase or decrease in
hormonal levels may result in body disorder due to
hormonal imbalance

e . Assessment
