Endocrine System (Chemical Control System) title slide listing hormones, negative feedback, pituitary, thyroid and cortisol
Lesson overview to preview the unit's topics
Human endocrine system diagram labeling hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, thymus, adrenals, pancreas and gonads
Reference diagram for locating the major glands
Chemical Signals slide defining hormones and endocrine hormones, with a body chart of glands and the hormones each secretes
Key definitions for students' notes
Stress response: pituitary releases ACTH, adrenals release adrenaline and cortisol, raising heart rate and breathing
Real-world example to connect hormones to body changes
Endocrine vs nervous system: both control organs and tissues; nervous acts quickly, endocrine is slower but lasts longer
Discussion point comparing two control systems
Types of Hormones slide introducing steroid and non-steroid (protein) hormones, each shown with a cell signaling diagram
Transition slide before the two hormone types
Steroid hormones: made from cholesterol, enter target cells, bind receptors and activate a gene; numbered cell diagram
Notes slide on how lipid hormones act inside the cell
Non-steroid (protein) hormones: water-soluble amino acid chains binding membrane receptors; e.g. insulin, growth hormone
Notes slide to contrast with steroid hormone action
Second messenger diagram: hormone binds a receptor, enzyme turns ATP into cAMP, activating protein kinase for a response
Visual to walk through protein hormone signaling steps
Hormones and Negative Feedback flowchart: hypothalamus TRH to pituitary TSH to thyroid hormones, which block more TSH
Model a feedback loop before discussing homeostasis
