Whoa what's to hate? I found it amazing! Plus it is the basis for everything that happens in your body pretty much. Learn to love it! All the other systems tied back to the endocrine system when I took it.

My prof had a thing for essays, all of our exams were 7 to 10 essays. I'd say about 60% of all my essays for each of the systems that follow were tied back to the endocrine system.

Mine is online, but the exams are proctored. I just got my lab kit with a pig heart, pregnant rat, and I think a kidney. I haven't opened the box yet. I like to watch the Berkeley webcasts.

I was looking into taking A&P at local CC but they only offer it separatly. You take Human anatomy then Physiology.

Oohh do you have a link for those webcasts? That would be tremendously helpful I think.

We have 4 exams this summer, midterm and final are both cumulative and proctored, exams 1 and 3 are done at home with no proctor

I'll start A&P II June 26 and it will end July 28th I believe. I can't wait to get it over with because I will officially be finished with my prerequisites.

I got a C in A&P w/o studying so I know if I apply myself I can get the A in A&P 2 I need to bring my GPA up to a 3.3.

Good Luck Everyone~!

Both NTs and hormones are usually small peptides, they're messengers, they have target organs/cells, etc. I know there are some major differences, but to me the structure and function are very similar. Both my prof. and my book say the same thing. Just my .
