During today's session, we watched a video related to the chapter that we have been working on. Lena was very interested in seeing how the concepts that she has copied in her notes actually are a reality in the body and how the immune system protects us against infections.

Differentiate between the type of response seen in the nervous system and the response in the endocrine system.
Describe the secretions as hormones and the glands as ductless.
Hormones are secreted into the capillary beds surrounding the glands.
Define "target organs" and use examples to show the effect is widespread to all cells and tissue.
Using a series of "patients" with varying endocrine disorders, derive the function(s) performed by the glands.

Today, we learned the difference between T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. Lena took her notes in her notebook.

Nervous system test covering the brain, spinal cord, and autonomic responses.

During today's class, we watched a video about how the lymphatic and the immune systems are related and work together to protect us against infections.

Total review of the central and peripheral nervous system as outlined in the chapter summary. This review is helpful toward tomorrow's full chapter test

Today, we have continued learning how vaccines work and how the bone marrow produces white blood cells. Lena seemed enthusiastic and enjoyed the class.

In preparation for the test involving the structure and function of the central nervous system, a complete review of the cerebral cortex is undertaken. The functions of each lobe outlined and viewed using a video.

We have continued learning about the immune system and the process of vaccination.

Introduce the 12 cranial nerves and their function.
Review the function of the autonomic nervous system.
Discuss the sympathetic and parasympathetic system and how they work together to maintain homeostasis.
Describe the anatomy of a reflex arc, use a diagram to help explain, and discuss the primary function of the reflex.
