This tutorial has three sections:
Endocrine System Notes
Immune System Notes
Practice Questions
Please make sure you take helpful, detailed notes during each of the two notes sections. Finally, during the Practice Questions section, you'll answer a series of questions covering content from the notes sections. These practice questions will allow you to check your answers as many times as you need to, before submitting the assignment! Make sure you fully understand each question and answer, though - you'll see similar questions and topics on the CFU and Unit Test!
On your first note page, draw a large table taking up the entire page. It should have four columns and eleven rows (that includes the row that you'll write the column names in).
The four columns should be labeled, in this order:
Gland
Location
Function(s)
Hormone(s)
Fill in the 10 gland names below, in that first column labeled "Gland":
Pineal
Hypothalamus
Pituitary
Thyroid
Parathyroid
Thymus
Adrenal
Pancreas
Ovaries
Testes
Once you've created your table, click the answer below to indicate that you've done so, and are ready to watch the upcoming video and fill in this table!
P.S. There will also be important information about the endocrine system and hormones that you'll need to write down on another page outside of this table! The video starts with this extra information, and then halfway through it will begin a rundown of all the major glands.
Why is the pituitary gland sometimes referred to as the "master gland"?
