Wednes-Day 1
Bio 3/6 - we discussed the functions, hormones, and target cells of the rest of the endocrine glands.
We then discussed diseases/malfunctions of the pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas glands: gigantism and dwarfism, hyper- and hypothyroidism/goiter, and diabetes, respectively.
We did a worksheet on blood glucose regulation via negative biofeedback - we'll check your work tomorrow.
AP Chem - we discussed ion-dipole attractions, which typically occur when an ionic compound/salt dissolves in a polar solvent/water. We then looked at the source of dipoles and dipole-dipole attraction.
