Start the axis
What defines a useful endocrine signalling question?
Check
The signal source, target, intended response and context.
FOUR ORIGINAL PROMPTS
Draw the
signal axis.
Recall first, then verify detailed physiology in an approved source.
Follow the response
What should be linked at a target tissue?
Check
The signal, target change and contribution to the system-level response.
Read feedback
What makes feedback meaningful in an axis?
Check
It identifies what returns to influence the earlier signal and how that stabilises or changes the response.
Include time
Why can timing not be omitted?
Check
Rhythm, pulsatility and physiological state can shape the observed response.
