Expectations

SAP3.a
Ask questions to investigate how the structures of the nervous system support the function of information processing (detection, interpretation, and response).
SAP3.b
Analyze and interpret data to explain how the hormones of the endocrine system regulate physical and chemical processes to maintain a stable internal environment. (Clarification statement: This should include positive and negative feedback mechanisms, e.g. heart rate, blood sugar, childbirth, temperature, growth, etc.)
SAP3.c
Ask questions about how the interdependence of the endocrine and nervous systems makes information processing (detection, interpretation and response) possible. (Clarification statement: Questions should address the homeostatic mechanisms, as well as the effects of and responses to aging, diseases, and disorders).
