Title: BIO SAC - Homeostasis?
Post by: forchina on May 10, 2013, 07:32:08 pm

So we have a Sac on homeostasis (hormones only) on thursday and my teacher hasn't said anything about it except that it will be using second hand data?

Has anybody got any idea what it could be on?

A common one is glucose regulation, with insulin and glucagon being the hormones used. Actually, this one is good to know even if it's not on your SAC, because it's easy to understand and can be used in exam questions where they ask you to pick a homeostatic mechanism. Actually, the odds are quite high it will be something about lack of glucose regulation and diabetes. But it shouldn't matter in the end, whatever issued in the SAC will be explained in enough detail for you to answer the questions. :)
