Concentration is detected by hypothalamus of brain. If its low the information from hypothalamus moves o pituitary. The pituitary sends information to the thyroid through blood. Then thyroid gland secretes more thyroxine.

If thyroxine in blood is excess hypothalamus stops producing information to pituitary and pituitary stops producing information to thyroid gland to secrete thyroxine.

Teeth and muscle masticates food. 6. Saliva moistens the food. 7. Tongue perceives taste and pushes crushed food. All these work is possible through a system of control and coordination.
