1+Endocrinology

1 Endocrinology (Dane, Sabrena, Lawrence)

The section we have is Endocrinology. Endocrinology is the study of the Endocrine System. This system is very vital to the processes of the Human body such as homeostasis therefore our section is very dense with information of various hormones and their processes.

Fortunately for everyone IB does not have specific requirements for this section!!
So we are going to concentrate purely on the AP requirements for this section!  =GOOD LUCK AND STUDY HARD!!! = · ** Endocrine Gland: ** A ductless gland that secrets hormones directly into the interstitial fluid, from which they diffuse into the bloodstream · ** Endocrine System: ** The internal system of chemical communication involving hormones, and the molecular recetors on or in target cells that respond to hormones; functions in concert with the nervous systemto effect internal regulation and maintain homeostasis.
 * Basic patterns of simple hormonal control pathways:** In each pathway, a receptor/sensor detects a change in some internal or external variable- the stimulus- and informs the control center. The control center sends out an efferent signal, either a hormone or neurohormone. An endocrine cell carries out both the receptor and center functions.

This is the ACTUAL power point that is used in class for the teaching session, so of course its useful.

This presentation is the presentation created straight from the book complete with full visuals from the book. This presentation is great for the specifics and information from the book.

This outline is a text outline that is just as useful as the presentation straight from the book a total overview of the whole process and system is presented.

This PDF file is a very useful file for an over review of the whole system. This includes matching of the major structures of the Endocrine System as well as identification of certain hormones and there functions and processes. Filling this whole thing out will have you more than prepared for the easy quiz we will have for you at the end of our presentation. :)
