Welcome back! There are 32 days left of school. Yikes.
1.What is the most important function of our skin?
2.How is a fever helpful to us when we’re sick?
3.The bacteria below enters your body and your
immune system makes antibodies for it. Draw what
these antibodies look like.
4.What is a vaccine?
5.How does a vaccine keep us from getting sick?
How does all the IMMUNE SYSTEM
relate to FOOD PRODUCTION?
Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotics
•Anti= against, bio = life
•Chemicals that kills bacteria
living
conditions
•Cramped
•Unsanitary
•Corn-fed
E. coli
E.coli populations
increase
Mastitis
•An infection of the udder
resulting in pus and blood in
the milk
The Endocrine System
Imagine you are sending a message to someone else (ex. Text,
email, letter, etc.).
Three parts involved to sending a message:
1. Sender
2. Receiver
3. Message
Function:
sends messages to different parts of the body through the
bloodstream.
Hormone:
• “The message”
• Chemical that acts as a message that affects other parts of
the body.
Glands:
•“The sender”
•Where hormones are
made.
•Each hormone is made by
a specific gland.
Target cell:
•“The receiver”
•Part of the body that is
affected by the hormone
•Each hormone has its
target cells.
Endocrine System Overview
Some Important Hormones
Adrenaline:
Made in : the adrenal glands
Target: brain, muscles, heart, lungs
Effect: Alertness, “fight or flight”, fear, excitement

Video 2
Thyroxine:
Made in: the thyroid gland
Target: heart, brain, all cells
Effect: Increases metabolism and growth
Gonadotrophins:
Made in: pituitary gland (brain)
Target: ovaries (female) and testes (male)
Effect: puberty, sperm and egg production
ovaries  produce estrogen
testes  produce testosterone
Estrogen:
Made in: Ovaries
Target: brain, bones, fat, hair, sexual organs
Effect: female sexual development
Testosterone:
Made in: Testes
Target: brain, muscles, hair, larynx, sexual organs
Effect: male sexual development
Growth hormone:
Made in: pituitary gland
Target: fat cells and liver
Effect: directly and indirectly stimulates growth, cell
reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals
Insulin:
Made in: Pancreas
Target: Cells in liver, fat, and muscle
Effect: Take in glucose from the blood and stores it as
glycogen

Dispatch Week 31 Class 2
1. How do hormones travel through the body?
2. Why does it appear that girls mature faster than boys?
3. Name 3 physical or mental changes caused by
testosterone.
4. Name 3 physical or mental changes caused by estrogen.
5. Puberty always begins with the production of the hormone
called ___________________________ in the brain.
6. Explain how antibiotic resistance may result from the
overuse of antibiotics.
The Reproductive System
Let’s review a few terms.
Diploid:
Having 2 copies of each chromosome
(symbol is 2n)
Haploid:
Having one copy of each chromosome
(symbol is n)
Gamete:
a reproductive cell
(Egg and sperm)
Meiosis:
process where 1 cell divides into 4 gametes
Male Reproductive System
The function of the Male Reproductive System is to
produce and deliver haploid sperm.
Main Parts:
Structure
Function
Testes
•Where meiosis happens
•Produces haploid sperm
Epididymis
•Stores mature sperm
Vas deferens
•Tube that takes sperm to the urethra
Urethra
•Tube that carries semen and urine
Penis
•Carries semen and urine out of the
body
Female Reproductive System
The functions of the Female Reproductive System are:
1. Produce a haploid egg
2. Support the developing baby
Main Parts:
Structure
Function
Ovary
•Where meiosis happens
•Produces haploid egg
Fallopian tube
•Carries eggs to the uterus
•Where fertilization usually happens
Uterus
•Organ that carries the egg and
developing baby
•Passage between uterus and
vagina
•Canal that leads to the outside of
the body
Cervix
Vagina
