Class Activities
We worked on taking notes from chapter 17.7 and 17.8 from the textbook. For many classes, we worked together in class and put the notes on the SMARTboard. We are looking at hormones, and will see that hormones are slower responding but longer lasting than the nervous system.
We also talked about feedback loops in class, and i described it as being like a thermostat. Many hormones are regulated by feedback loops.
