    Uploaded by

    Maria Bettina Dizon
    The document contains a learning activity worksheet for a Grade 12 General Biology class focusing on homeostasis and the excretory system. The worksheet includes various activities to test students' understanding of concepts like hibernation, osmoregulation in fish, the structure and function of excretory system organs, and the process of excretion. It also provides a similar worksheet on the endocrine system focusing on identifying hormones produced by different glands and their functions.

    HOMEOSTASIS AND EXCRETORY SYSTEM

    Activity 1: Learn to Rest


    Complete the concept map. Based on the given animal, choose the correct term
    applicable to their reduced state of activity using the given keywords: hibernation,
    estivation, torpor. Write the term inside the circle. Then, answer the questions.
    Activity 3: Explain It!
    Saltwater and freshwater fishes have both adaptive mechanisms for osmoregulation.
    First, identify whether the illustrated fish is a freshwater or saltwater fish based on the in
    and out of water and solutes to maintain balance. Then, explain the given illustrations in
    relation to osmoregulation.

    Activity 5: Complete the Table


    Complete the table below by identifying the functions of the key parts of the excretory
    system.

    No. Structure Function

    Filter out waste and other fluids from the body.


    1 Kidney
    Maintains balance of water, salt and other minerals

    2 Renal vein Carries blood from the ureter and kidney to the heart

    3 Renal artery Carries blood from the heart to the kidney

    4 Ureter Carries urine from the kidney to the bladder

    5 Urinary bladder Stores urine before emptying through the urethra

    6 Urethra Tube that urine passes through outside the body

    Valve that holds urine from going out of the bladder


    7 Urinary sphincter
    into the urethra

    Produces glomerular filtrate and filters out blood by


    8 Glomerulus
    allowing wastes and fluid to enter the glomerulus

    Allows smaller molecules and water molecules to flow


    9 Bowman’s capsule into the bowman’s capsule’s semi permeable wall
    which forms glomerular filtrate
    Retrieves salt and water in urine to make urine more
    10 Loop of Henle concentrated than blood to lessen water requirement
    to live

    Collects the urine from the nephrons and transports it


    11 Collecting duct
    into the ureter and renal pelvis.

    Reabsorbs the glomerular filtrate in accordance with


    12 Proximal tubule homeostasis requirements due to it being the
    nephron’s most reabsorptive part

    Activity 6: The Process of Excretion


    Describe the four major key functions of the excretory system based on the given
    illustration on the left. Explain your answers thoroughly.

    ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

    Activity 2: Complete me!


    Complete the table by filling in the hormone released by glands on the first column.

    Gland Hormone Function

    pineal gland
     
    Melatonin Produces melatonin based on information
    received from the light-dark cycle of the
    environment to help time the circadian
    rhythm and sleep

    pituitary gland Antidiuretic Produces hormones that help with energy


    hormone, FSH, conversion and management (metabolism),
    Growth hormone, growth, blood pressure, sexual maturation
    Luteinizing among other bodily functions
    hormone,
    Oxytocin,
    Prolactin,
    Vasopressin,

    thyroid gland Calcitonin, Produces hormones that lower the blood’s


    Parathyroid, calcium levels, release calcium into the
    Thyroxin bloodstream from the bones and regulate
    bodily functions such as, digestion, heart
    rate, brain development and muscle control

    Adrenaline, Cortisol Produces hormones that


    increase heart rate, blood
    pressure, pupil size, etc.,
    adrenal gland
    expand the airways and
    regulate the stress
    response of the body
    Glucagon, Insulin Regulates blood sugar
    pancreas and distributes it to the
    different parts of the body
    Estrogen, Progesterone, These are the primary
    Testosterone reproductive organs
    which produce sperm for
    male and ova for female
    gonads
    and also secrete
    hormones that help with
    the body’s sexual and
    developmental functions
    Testosterone produces testosterone
    which helps with the
    production of sperm, the
    development of the body
    testes
    in terms of muscle mass,
    bone mass and other
    aspects. It also regulates
    libido and fat distribution
    Estrogen, Progesterone Produces hormones that
    help with the development
    of female characteristics
    as well as other aspects
    of the body’s development
    such as bone health, the
    function of the
    cardiovascular system
    ovary and all the processes that
    happen in the menstrual
    cycle. The hormones also
    help with the production
    of the egg cell and the
    development of a fetus
    inside the uterus when
    fertilization of an egg cell
    occurs
