Biology 30 Blog for Monday October 1st 2007 Brandee L

• First in our exciting biology class, we reviewed the Nervous System exam that we wrote. We basically just went over the questions that didn't have good results from our class. Most of the questions that we looked at had relations to neurons and stimulating neurons. I guess that we will have to study, study, study those types of questions for the UNIT EXAM of the Nervous System and the Endocrine System on Oct.10. The next thing that we discovered was that we can get a chance to increase our mark on our Nervous System test. All that we have to do is correct all of the questions that we got wrong and thoroughly explain why that is the correct answer. It is due on Monday Oct.7.
  
• We were then introduced to the Thyroid Gland, which consists of T4 (thyroxine), T3 (triiodothyronine), and cortisol. This lead on to learning about the Parathyroid (PTH). Next was the Adrenal Gland which included the cortex (cortisol, aldosterone) and the medulla (adrenalin, noradrenalin).
  
• We continued working on Mr. Blanky sheets #2 and #3. All of the sheets will be due on tuesday Oct.9; the day before the Exam!
  
  
• There is a quiz on Pituitary/Thyroid on Oct.2

mark: 3/3
