The 2026 Ebola Outbreak was officially confirmed by the World Health Organization on May 15th.
Bundibugyo strain of the ebola virus has an R-Naught of 1.3 to 2.
No vaccine for this particular strain.
To date, 89 people have been confirmed dead, over 500 suspected cases, with one US doctor (now in Germany) confirmed sick. No confirmed cases in the US.
In response to the ebola virus the immune system produces a cytokine storm. It is a positive feedback loop in which immune cells secrete chemicals that cause fluid leakage and kill tissues.

Heart attack are caused from blockage of coronary arteries in the heart.
Strokes occur in the brain.
Blood sugar levels are monitored in the body through negative feedback.
The hypothalamus releases releasing hormones which cause the pituitary to release stimulating hormones which control many of the other endocrine glands.
Thanks, in advance, for your hospitality towards Ms. Daly. My absence is just for today and I will see you next time our class meets.
So far we have researched the pituitary which is considered the master gland. Today you will investigate other glands within the body, the hormones they secrete, and their impacts on the body. Complete the assignment shown below and upload to Canvas.
Endocrine Gland Identification and Function Assignment in Canvas. Due Wednesday, March 18th.
If you have extra class time, use it to complete your pituitary gland presentation then study hall.
Have a great day!
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM VS
NERVOUS SYSTEM:
Nervous System = direct phone call to an individual person
Endocrine System = snail mail letter campaign to a whole community
Nervous System = Lysol wipes...goes directly to the germs.
Lysol spray = the endocrine system... indirectly comes in contact with the germs.
Special Senses A&PGO (just for review, no game)
White Board Review:
Include a helpful visual and explanations on your white board. This will be shared with the class.
How do the eye's see? Include the following structures:
-cornea -pupil -lens -ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments -retina -rods and cones -optic nerve -oculomotor nerve -trochlear nerve -abducens nerve (Cranial Nerves II, III, IV, VI)
How doe the ears hear? Include the following structures:
-pinna/auricle -auditory canal -tympanic membrane -malleus -incus -stapes -cochlea
-fluid in cochlea -hair/fiber sensors -vestibulocochlear nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII)
How do the ears help us maintain balance? Include the following structures in your explanation:
-semicircular canals -endolymph -ampulla -utricle -saccule -hair/fiber sensors -gel -otoliths (calcium crystals)
-Vestibulocochlear nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII)
How does your sense of smell work? Include the following structures in your explanation:
-nasal epithelium with mucus -olfactory receptor cells -mitral cells -Olfactory bulb (Cranial Nerve I)
-limbic region in the brain
How does your sense of taste work? Include the following structures in your explanation:
-dermal papilla -taste pore -taste receptor hairs (taste buds) -Facial nerve (Cranial Nerve VII) -Glossopharyngeal nerve (Cranial Nerve IX)
-Vagus nerve (Cranial Nerve X)
How does your sense of touch work? Include the following factors and structures:
-type of sensors -sensor density -Pacinian corpuscles -Ruffini receptors -Merkel disc -Meisner corpuscles
-Trigeminal nerve (Cranial Nerve V)
HOMEWORK: Complete the Special Senses Practice Exam shown above and upload to Canvas.
Both hearing and balance senses are controlled in the ear.
The structure of the eye is connected to it's function. We will be learning about those structures and how they support your ability to see.

Spinal cord transmits nerve signals between the brain and body.
Medulla oblongata regulates heartrate, breathing, blood pressure, and reflex actions like swallowing, sneezing, and vomiting.
Pons overlap some functions of the medulla oblongata as well as control sleep cycles and facial sensations and movements.
--------------------------------------
The nervous system is composed of grey matter and white matter. Grey matter contains nerve cell bodies while the white matter contains the axons of the neurons. Myelin is what makes the white matter white. The white matter is on the inside of the brain but the outside of the spinal cord.
nerve impulse travels along an axon

-Muscles that Move the Head Face and Neck
In general during flexion the muscle is working and extension is relaxed.
When the agonist flexes the antagonist extends.
Study the facial muscles (linked on Day 36), then complete a group facial and head and neck muscle check-in with M. Hee.
My surgery was to cut the A-1 pulley the guides the flexor pollicus longus muscle in my hand. This was done at the metacarpophalangeal joint where the thumb meets the palm
Welcome back to school. I hope that you had a fantastic break! Please support Ms. Taylor as she helps out in my absence. I hope to be back later this week and am looking forward to see you soon! -M. Hee
Above, the base of the fibula is the outer ankle. The flattened "butter knife" side of the base faces lateral.
Above, the styloid process (pointy part) of the radius points to the thumb. Smooth side on palm side.
To the left, the right ulna is shown. The ulna is on the medial side of the lower arm and the radius is on the lateral side. The radial notch (shown in green) is where the "nail like" head of the radius articulates with the ulna. This notch should face lateral.
Above, the styloid process (pointy part) of the radius points to the thumb. Bumpy side on knuckle side.

Condyle = a rounded process, which usually articulates with another bone
Fontanel = a soft spot in the skull covered by membranes
Formen = an opening through a bone
Meatus = a tubelike passageway within a bone
Sinus = a cavity within a bone
Suture =an interlocking line of union between bones found where bones articulate (come together).
