**The above lesson has been created to cover the below specification points:
**

B1.28 The principles of homeostasis-
o feedback systems, role of the endocrine system
o maintains stability and function of the physiological systems and cells when there are changes to internal and external conditions that would otherwise prevent enzymes from functioning normally
B1.29 The normal expected ranges for physiological measurements and the factors which may affect measurements
B2.14 The role of the components in performing the functions of the endocrine system
B2.15 The role of glands and hormones in homeostasis
B2.16 The development, impact and management of diabetes
