Discussion of the posterior pituitary hormones was completed with the secretion and activity of the hormone oxytocin in labor and milk letdown.
The Action of growth hormone, pituitary dwarfism, gigantism, and acromegaly seen in photos and images.
Thyroid stimulation hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone, their stimulation and target cells discussed.

During today's class, we have started to learn about the urinary system. We watched a video and Lena will start taking her notes during our next class.

Outline is listed on Monday's summary.

Absent.

function of the hormones released by the anterior pituitary.
These include growth hormone, effects of hypo secretion and hyper secretion. Stimulation by GHRH from the hypothalamus. Use images and photos. Thyroid stimulating hormone and Thyroid releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. Adrenocorticotropic hormone and Corticotropin releasing factor Prolactin, Follicle stimulating hormone and leutenizing hormone

Absent

Start with a weekly review quiz.
Discuss the role played by the hypothalamus in secreting releasing factors (trophic hormones), which stimulate the pituitary to secrete its stimulating hormones. Use as an example thyroid releasing factor, thyroid stimulating hormone, and then the final release of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland.
Discuss in detail the hormones released by the posterior pituitary and their functions as anti diuretics.

During today's class, Lena continued taking her notes and we also watched a short video related to the concepts that we were learning.

Lena has continued working on taking notes based on the immune system.

List and discuss the 3 major chemical classes of hormones, amines, proteins, and steroids. Discuss why protein hormones cannot be taken by mouth.
Indicate that hormones are only released when there is a need. The stimuli for release being the change in blood levels of hormones as received by chemoreceptors.
Using insulin as an example, examine the steps in the negative feedback system which will bring about an increase or decrease in the blood hormone level.
