Today we had a double class. In the first block we learned about how hormones affect metabolism and different diseases that occur when you have Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. We talked about what Hyper and Hypothyroidism is symptoms.
In the second block we did an acitivity on the endocrine system and different diseases. We had to pick a diease, issue, or hormone treatment and talk about the symptoms, causes and treatment and make a one page summery on our findings which we will present to another group.
I thought it was a very interesting class. I didnt know there were this many hormones doing all sorts of things in our system. I also didnt know about what most of the disorders we talked about and what causes them.
In my group for the activity Kimara and i did Graves disease and here is a link on what it is.....
