BIG IDEA #4 Interactions

Construct explanations of cell communication through cell-to-cell direct contact or through chemical signaling.	[SP 6.2]	LO 3.34	EK 3.D.2
Create representation(s) that depict how cell-to-cell communication occurs by direct contact or from a distance through chemical signaling.	[SP 1.1]	LO 3.35	EK 3.D.2
Describe a model that expresses the key elements of signal transduction pathways by which a signal is converted to a cellular response.	[SP 1.5]	LO 3.36	EK 3.D.3
Justify claims based on scientific evidence that changes in signal transduction pathways can alter cellular response.	[SP 6.1]	LO 3.37	EK 3.D.4
Describe a model that expresses key elements to show how change in signal transduction can alter cellular response.	[SP 1.5]	LO 3.38	EK 3.D.4
Construct an explanation of how certain drugs affect signal reception and, consequently, signal transduction pathways.	[SP 6.2]	LO 3.39	EK 3.D.4

It's Just Stress, Right?  A Case Study on the Endocrine System:  a college student is struggling in her physiology course and exhibits classic signs of stress.  However, after visiting the health center, she finds she may be suffering from Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism.  Read the case study and use the patient's symptoms to make predictions about her diagnosis and then to investigate treatment options.



HHMI Click and Learn How the Body Uses Fat.   While adipose tissue is not part of the endocrine system, but it produces the hormone leptin.  Learn how the body processes fat, including digestion, transport, conversion, and energy extraction.  The is a review of earlier concepts.
