You
need to know these terms
to understand the way your body's endocrine system works. Study
the diagram on the left side of the page. Your health text* shows a
similar picture (page 17). We are all made of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. In most cases, the organs of girls' and boys' body systems do not differ significantly. Watch the BrainPop movie on the Endocrine System. Complete the table found here. Some of the endocrine system structures are different in males and females (visit this link for more information.) Check out this site to find out more about your body. Our body systems work together. Our growth happens without our understanding; our understanding is necessary to know what our body is telling us. Your health text* will assist your acquisition of knowledge (pages 74 - 77). Take this quiz to see what you have learned. |
