Module description
***This module is under development***
In this module you will build on their understanding of the neural and hormonal regulation of body systems explored in year 1. Students will explore the action of hormones secreted from major endocrine glands including the brain’s hypothalamus and pituitary glands, the adrenal, the gonads, and gastrointestinal tract. Through studying this module, you will develop an understanding of the concept of homeostasis and investigate how hormone secretion is regulated by neural control and/or by feedback mechanisms.
