The three types of digestive

enzymes are protease, lipase

and carbohydrase.

The thermoregulatory centre

in the brain controls body

temperature.

The optic nerve carries

impulses from the retina to

the brain.

Hormones are the chemical

messengers produced by

glands of the endocrine

system.

The four hormones that

control the menstrual cycle

are follicle stimulating

hormone (FSH), oestrogen,

luteinising hormone (LH) and

progesterone.

The response of a plant to light is

called phototropism.
