UP Board Class 11 Biology – Chemical Coordination and Integration
The chapter “Chemical Coordination and Integration” in UP Board Class 11 Biology explains how hormones regulate and coordinate various physiological processes in animals, including humans. It focuses on the endocrine system, which consists of ductless glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Students learn about major endocrine glands—pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, pineal, and gonads—their hormones, and functions in regulating growth, metabolism, reproduction, and homeostasis. The chapter also covers feedback mechanisms that maintain hormonal balance and the interaction between the nervous and endocrine systems for overall body coordination.
Understanding chemical coordination is essential for studying physiology, development, and medical sciences. This chapter lays a strong foundation for advanced topics like endocrinology, metabolic disorders, and is highly relevant for competitive exams such as NEET, AIIMS, and CUET.
