Thermoregulation- name the effectors, controller, receptors, and explain how the system responds
Glucoregulation- name the effectors, controller, receptors, and explain how the system responds
Osmoregulation- name the effectors, controller, receptors, and explain how the system responds
This should take about 6 lessons.
Week 10 should be completing the Summary of Learning document- Try to complete by memory first!
Then looking at the Hyperthermia and Hypothermia Case Studies.
Week 11- 12 will be final summary and completing the internal
