The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine

through the 200 MWCO membrane‚ the results for both were that glucose was diffuse but the albumin did not. Comparing to my prediction‚ the results were a bit different. I predicted that both were able to diffuse‚ but at the end‚ only glucose diffused. 4. Put the following in order from smallest to largest molecular weight: glucose‚ sodium chloride‚ albumin‚ and urea. a. Sodium chloride‚ urea‚ glucose‚ albumin Activity 2 5. Explain one way in which facilitated diffusion is the same as simple diffusion

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 4 Endocrine System Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Metabolism The following questions refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates. 1. Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? The normal rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate. 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The normal rat’s baseline metabolic rate was faster than that of the thyroidectomized rat’s

Nancy Yedanapalli physio ex Activity 6 1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. a. The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation)‚ where as the contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2. Explain why the amplitude

The Normal rat had the fastest BMR. 2 Why did the metabolic rates differ between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats? How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___ The BMRs differed because the surgically altered rats were missing
