Q4 Class 4A (Amie George, Erika Beebe, Emily Barns, Adrienne Pham, Brody McConnell) Score: 6/6 When a student feels stress, such as that associated with taking an exam, the endocrine system and the nervous system begin to work together to keep all the different parts of the systems in balance. The cerebral cortex controls the hypothalamus, a component of the nervous system, which in turn controls the pituitary gland, which manages the endocrine system. The hypothalamus will increase the body’s temperature causing the body to sweat. Once the hypothalamus signals to the pituitary gland, it will transmit a message to the adrenal glands to produce epinephrine, also called adrenaline, which triggers the fight‐or‐flight response. The sympathetic nervous system will increase blood pressure, raise a person’s heart rate, dilate pupils, causes palms to sweat, and increases respiration. The medulla, in charge of controlling basic survival functions, reacts to stress by increasing heart rate, respiration and blood pressure. This response cycle comprises of the brain, to the pituitary gland, to other glands, to hormones, back to the brain, revealing the connections of the nervous system to the endocrine system. The nervous system manages endocrine secretions. The cerebral cortex then responds to the release of the hormones and keeps the systems in balance. Point 7? Q4 Class 3B (Jean, Maggie, Shannon, Claudia and Victor) Score: 0/6 Nothing received. Q4 Class 1B (Jae Young, Yun, Robert, Shann) Score: 4/6 The endocrine and nervous systems perform simultaneously when a student feels stress associated with an upcoming final exam. The nervous system consists of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central systems. The central system consists of the brain and spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system is the sensory and motor neurons that connect to rest of the body. Under the peripheral nervous system is the autonomic and somatic nervous system. Somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, while the autonomic nervous system controls self‐regulated action. Finally, under the autonomic nervous system is the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. When a student feels stress due to the upcoming final exam, the sympathetic nervous system kicks in via endocrine system. The dominant component of the nervous system that controls the endocrine system is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is part of the limbic system that regulates hunger, thirst and sex in the human body, when the hypothalamus secretes hormones. These hormones trigger the master gland, or the pituitary gland, which in turn, influences the other glands in the endocrine system. In stressful situation, such as upcoming final exam, hypothalamus controls pituitary gland that secretes hormones controlling other glands. These glands influence the sympathetic nervous system by arousing the body. For example, pupils dilate, heartbeat accelerates, digestion inhibits, liver stimulates glucose release, and bladder relaxes. Incorrect statement
