Evaluate how external factors, medical treatments, or features of endocrine disorders alter negative feedback mechanisms.

Describe  in details the hierarchy  seen in the endocrine system.

Relate the short-term stress response and the roles of norepinephrine and the adrenal glands to the sympathetic nervous system.

Compare the endocrine and nervous control systems and explain how they act together.

Compare a negative feedback and a positive hormonal control and provide an example of each type of control.

Compare and contrast Short term and Long term stress responses. How important these events are in helping maintain homeostasis in the body? Use a chart or diagram

Give a polypeptide hormone as an example. What is the number of amino acids in the hormone? What is the location of the hormone's release? What role does the hormone play? What is the hormonal message's outcome?

Compare and contrast cortisol vs. catecholamine release in response to stress

Explain how the nervous system and endocrine differ: the rate of their control, the way in which they communicate with body cells; and the types of the body processes they control

What does the feedback loop for Vincent look like? Be sure to indicate all the hormones and glands involved in the feedback loop. Indicate whether the hormone levels are increasing or decreasing. Use arrows to indicate the direction of influence and label whether it is negative or positive feedback. Construct a feedback loop.   To treat Vincent's condition the doctors removed a small part of the thyroid gland. After the surgery what were the thyroxin feedback loop look like now? Use the feedback loop generated for the first part of the question and modify it to demonstrate the change is stemming from the medical treatment.
