Identify the signal
State its source, target and the variable or response the system is organising.
ENDOCRINE INTEGRATION
Signal across
time and tissue.
Understand the signal, target, feedback and context before committing isolated hormone facts to memory. Verify detailed axes and values in an approved source.
Follow the target
Ask what changes at the target and why that change contributes to the overall system response.
Close the loop
Map feedback and say what is sensed or represented by the returning signal.
Use the clock
Timing, pulsatility and physiological state can shape the axis; never hide the time scale.
RECALL CHECK
Can you draw the axis?
Try the original check before reopening detailed endocrine pathways in your source.
