    LABORATORY ACTIVITY 205


    CASE-BASED EXERCISE ON THE TOPIC HORMONES

    Name: ___________________________________
    Date: ____________________________________
    Section: _________________________________

    I. INTRODUCTION

    Metabolic pathways need to synchronize so that the production of energy or the synthesis of
    end products meets the requirements of the cell. Since the cells operate within a network of
    interacting tissues rather than in isolation, it is necessary that a complex communication system
    coordinate bodily functions. Hormones serve as regulatory signals, informing individual cells
    about the overall metabolic state of the body.

    II. OBJECTIVES

    At the end of the activity, students will:


    1. Comprehend the significance of hormones in maintaining homeostasis;
    2. Understand the role of hormones and hormonal imbalances in the development of
    diseases noted in this activity; and
    3. Get introduced to the concept of history-taking which is important in creating a
    differential diagnosis.

    III. PRE-ACTIVITY QUESTIONS (This should be done individually. Ensure that your answers
    are not copy-pasted from the sources, nor worded or phrased similarly to those of other
    students. Point deduction will apply.):
    1. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
    a. What is the Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)?

    b. What hormones are involved in the pathophysiology of OHSS? What


    tissues/endocrine glands produce these hormones? Tabulate your answers.
