Thermoregulation, osmoregulation, blood glucose and blood CO2 control by nervous and endocrine systems

What this note covers

1. Nervous and endocrine control use different signals
2. Thermoregulation balances heat gain and heat loss
3. Osmoregulation links ADH, the nephron and circulation
4. Blood glucose control uses antagonistic hormones
5. Carbon dioxide control responds to pH change
6. Integrated-response data require controlled comparisons
7. Explaining carbon dioxide regulation during a change in activity
8. Evaluating simultaneous heat and water-balance responses
