Differential tissue sensitivity/responsivity to hormones can explain developmental asynchrony among hormone-dependent events despite equivalent exposure of each tissue to circulating hormone levels. A dramatic vertebrate example is during frog metamorphosis, where transformation of the hind limb, brain, intestine, liver, and tail are completely dependent on thyroid hormone (TH) but occurs asynchronously during development. TH transporters (THTs) and cytosolic TH binding proteins (CTHBPs) have been proposed to affect the timing of tissue transformation based on expression profiles and in vitro studies, but they have not been previously tested in vivo. We used a combination of expression pattern, relative expression level, …

Physiology and Disease students at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora employ inquiry driven activities to improve their understanding and articulation of the discipline. Students make heart models and make correlations with heart rate, lung capacity and blood pressure measurements. Students seemed to gain a better understanding of the cardiovascular unit as reflected in their heart unit assessment scores.

Students in the Physiology and Disease course at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora are exposed to basic physiological concepts using novel hands on methods to help them understand the material better. Students made heart models to study the anatomy and physiology of the heart. Their scores on the heart unit assessment were evaluated for understanding by correlating their scores on heart model building with specific transfer questions on the heart unit. Preliminary results indicate that there was a significant correlation between heart model building and test scores.
