Today is the 29th so there is 77 days until test day, already feeling kinda nervous. I have been trying to finish content review as fast as possible, but it is just so tiresome.
I covered Biology chapter 7 today, nervous system and endocrine system. These two systems are some of the most confusing I have come across thus far. Here is an outline of what it looks like:
NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS
A. Endocrine System: Hormones
1. Function of endocrine system (specific chemical control at cell, tissue, and organ levels)
2. Definitions of endocrine gland, hormone
3. Major endocrine glands (names, locations, products)
4. Major types of hormones
B. Endocrine System: Mechanisms of Hormone Action
1. Cellular mechanisms of hormone action
2. Transport of hormones (bloodstream)
3. Specificity of hormones (target tissue)
4. Integration with nervous system (feedback control)
C. Nervous System: Structure and Function
1. Major functions
a. high-level control and integration of body systems
b.response to external influences
c. sensory input
d. integrative and cognitive abilities
2. Organization of vertebrate nervous system
3. Sensor and effector neurons
4. Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems (functions, antagonistic control)
5. Reflexes
a. feedback loop, reflex arc, effects on flexor and extensor muscles
b. roles of spinal cord, brain
c. efferent control
D. Nervous System: Sensory Reception and Processing
1.Skin, proprioceptive and somatic sensors
2.Olfaction, taste
3.Hearing
a. ear structure
b. mechanism of hearing
4. Vision
a. light receptors
b. eye structure
c. visual image processing
