Endocrine Functions<\/h5>\n

The endocrine system is one of the most challenging systems to research and understand.\u00a0 Small chemicals traveling in the blood and causing things to happen elsewhere can be hard to track, especially with fluctuations in amounts and impacts happening on different time scales.<\/p>\n

In this lab and media piece, you are representing aspects of the endocrine system in a way that you could look back at your media in a decade and quickly recall the basics of this system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
