1/12/09 Excretion notes and Nervous & Endocrine test
Yellow - Midterm coming on January 27 @ 8AM
Today in class we:
· Took student questions about the Nervous and Endocrine unit. We discussed function of the different parts of the brain.
· Continued the discussion of the Excretory system and water balance. We began discussing nephron function. We then discussed how the urine collects in the ureters and passes to the bladder. Then the urine is passed out of the body via the urethra. We discussed the processing steps of filtration, reabsorbtion and secretion. We discussed how the kidneys aid in balancing the fluid composition of the body and how blood pressure and pH are regulated. We reviewed osmosis and finished on slide #42.
· Handed out the review packet for the next unit, The Immune System.
Coming up:
· Unit test on nervous & endocrine system the week of 1/12/09. Currently scheduled for Tuesday.

Excretion Videos
I have posted the class presentations with video and full animations online. If you are absent or want to review you can view the entire presentation. It is in video format with my commentary.
This first file is the introduction to the Excretion unit. It is the beginning of the presentation until the beginning of the material on the urinary system.
This second video begins the urinary system and begins information on the nephron.
This third video continues with the nephron and functions of the urinary system.
This final video is the homeostatic disorders related to the excretory system.
