Part A – Learning Journal
As you complete the assignment, keep track of the resources that you used and list ALL of them as part of your assignment submission.
For this part of the assignment, list the resources you used AND how you used them.
For example, you might write something like this: I found most of the definitions in the textbook. But, I had to look up the terms X and Y online and found them on this link… I figured out most of the relationship using the Crash Course video on the resources page. I also asked the instructor for some help because I couldn’t figure out where X belong in the map.
Another example: I found the definitions in these links: A, B, C. I copied most of the definitions directly from these sources, so I used quotation marks to indicate that and identified which source each definition is from. I found the relationship information in these links: B, C, D, E.
Note: This assignment is asking you to explain a process. You should use your own words to explain the process. You can also draw pictures or create flowcharts – that can make it easier to use your own words.
Alternative Learning Journey Option: Artificial Intelligence will answer all our questions! But are the answers correct? For this journey, you will fact-check the answer provided from AI (or you can fact-check any source that provides the full answer). This “Fact Check” Journey is an alternative version of our assignments. To do this, identify the source and copy the full answer. Then, highlight the terms from our list. Then, find reliable sources that supports each part of the answer. Be specific about what part the the fact-check source you are referencing and what part of the original source it supports. Fact check all parts of the answer. If you find errors in the original source, identify the site that provides the correct information. Be sure to let me know if you are selecting this alternative journey.
Below is a video explaining how to complete the Fact-Checking version of this assignment. It’s 8:32 minutes long.
Assignment – Part B
Part B – Human Systems
Core Goal: Endocrine System
Answer these questions for the endocrine system.
What is the function of the endocrine system?
List 5 organs or glands found in the endocrine system.
Identify one function for each organ.
Identify where each organ is found.
What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?
Give 2 examples of an exocrine gland and identify what each of them produces.
Level-up: Organization of the Body
Organ systems (such as the endocrine system) are made of individual organs. Individual organs are made of tissues. And, tissues are made of cells. Answer these questions.
Pick one organ of the endocrine system
Identify a tissue type found in that organ
Identify a cell type found in that tissue
Now, lets try this with a different system – the Integument system
Identify an organ and the function of that organ
Identify a tissue type in that organ
Identify a cell type in that organ
Assignment – Part C
Part C – Homeostasis
Core Goal
Describe the feedback loop that maintains blood glucose levels.
Use these terms below to explain how the body maintains glucose levels using a feedback loop. Be specific about what happens when glucose levels get to high (how does the body bring them back down)? And, what happens when glucose levels get too low (how does the body bring them back up)? Highlight or underline each of these terms in your explanation and include the role of each in the explanation. Note: the terms are not listed in the order they will be used in the explanation.
Liver
Insulin
Pancreas
Glucose
Glycogen
Glucagon
Homeostasis
Normal range
Level-Up
Add these terms to the explanation above
Sensor
Effector
Stimulus
Control center
Answer these questions
What is the difference between a positive and a negative feedback loop?
Is homeostasis of glucose levels an example of a positive or negative feedback loop?
