We started off this class by reviewing the homework from last night. Then we started lab 31.
Here are some of the things that we reviewed:

-regulates other endocrine glands
-tells other glands to release what hormone

Hyptothalamus Gland:
-integrates the endocrine and nervous systems
-controls pituitary gland

Control of the Endocrine System:
-regulated by a feedback mechanism
-negative- last signal inhibits the first
-positive- last signal stimulates the first

Menstrual Cycle:

-body prepares for pregnancy
-occurs from puberty until menopause



Homework:
