SUBJECT & GRADE LEVEL: SCIENCE GRADE10

Topic: EFFECTS OF HORMONES IN THE BODY

Content Standards: The learners demonstrates an understanding that organisms have feedback mechanisms, which are
coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems how these feedback mechanisms help the organism maintain
homeostasis to reproduce and survive
Performance Standards: The learners conducts an interview with the school nurse or the local health workers on
practices that promote proper care for the organs of the reproductive, endocrine, and nervous systems.

What was our topic last meeting? We discuss about
The Endocrine
System and the
different glands
of the endocrine
system ma’am!
Ok! Last time we discussed about “The Endocrine System and the different glands
of our endocrine system and for our review, let us have a simple game which is
called “Legends Q and A” all you have to do is you are going to answer my
question starting with I believe three times.. are you ready? Yes ma’am, we
are ready!
1. It is a small pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain.
2. It is a chemical substance that carries information to our body. (Students will do
3. It is a system of glands that secrete different types of hormones. the activity)

Is there any question about our previous topic? “None ma’am”

Ok class, now I have here a puzzle of words, all you have to do is you are going to Students will do

Presentation: our body

Today we are going to learn about the different effects of hormones in our body

But before that, let’s have another activity called Scavenger hunt.

I will group you into 5 groups.

All you have to is you are going to answer the given questions located in the 5
corners in our classroom. After answering all the questions please submit it to me. Yes ma’am!
Students will do 5 index cards
The group who can finish first with correct answers will be the winner and will the activity with questions
receive the price.

Now let us determine what disorders may occur when there is an hormonal hormonal
imbalance happening in our body. imbalance

Homeostatic Imbalance: Endocrine System Disorders

An endocrine disease is usually characterized by hyposecretion or hypersecretion

of hormones.

What does it mean when we say hyposecretion or hypersecretion?

Hyposecretion – it is the production of no hormone or too little of a hormone, Post the

while Hypersecretion of a hormone happens when the body produces too much It means there is meaning of
of a hormone too much and hypersecretion

feedback system signals the proper gland or glands to correct the problem. A
hormone imbalance may occur if this feedback system has trouble keeping the
right level of hormones in the bloodstream

Dwarfism – Growth hormone deficiency is caused by a lack of GH production by

the pituitary. GH deficiency affects bone growth, and people with growth hormone
deficiency tend to have, among other things, low bone density and a small stature. Post on the

Gigantism – If the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during Students different
childhood, the person will be taller than normal, it is very rare, and some of the interaction disorder and

Diabetes insipidus – frequent urination cause by hyposecretion of Antidiurectic

hormone (ADH)

Hyperthyroidism – It is the result of excess thyroid hormone production, which

causes an overactive metabolism and increased speed of all the body's processes,
leading to weight loss, fast heart rate, sweating, protruding eyes and nervousness.
Hyperthyroidism is the most common cause of goiter or Grave's disease in the
developed world.

Hypothyroidism – it is cause if there is a a hyposecretion of thyroid hormones.

Since our body's energy production requires certain amounts of thyroid hormones,
a drop in hormone production leads to lower energy levels and it also cause
obesity, obesity occurs when the body takes in more calories than it burns.
Hypothyroidism poses a special danger to new-borns and infants. A lack of thyroid
hormones at an early age can lead to the development of cretinism it is a severe
mental and physical retardation, characterized by stunted growth, abnormal bone
formation, mental retardation and sluggishness.

Hyperparathyroidism – exists when the parathyroid glands produce too much

parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is primarily related to the long-term effect of too
little calcium in your bones and too much calcium circulating in your bloodstream.
Common complications include osteoporosis which can lead to fractures, kidney
stones, decreased kidney function, heart disease, increased acid secretion in the
stomach and ulcers.

Hypoparathyroidism – occurs when the parathyroid glands do not produce

enough PTH. This leads to a low blood calcium level and can adversely affect
muscle, nerve and causes tetany. Parathyroid hormone hypersecretion causes
osteitis fibrosa cystica].

Hypoglycemia –it is result by hypersecretion of insulin

Hyperglycemia –it is a condition in which the urine contains glocuse, may result
from insufficient secretion of insulin. Marked increased level of blood sugar, if
untreatend lead to coma and death. This condition is known as diabetes mellitus.

Now that you are familiar with the different disorders due to hormonal imbalance
let’s have an activity called “What Went Wrong”

Activity 5 What Went Wrong

Objective:
Explain the effect of a particular hormone in the body if not properly
regulated Students will do
the activity
Procedure:
A. Identify which gland in the endocrine system is involved in each
dysfunction and explain the effect of hormonal imbalance that was
observed.
1. Dwarfism
2. Gigantism
3. Goiter
4. Osteoporosis Students will
5. Obesity report there
activity in front
B. Write a one paragraph essay about how one of these conditions will
affect your life if you have dysfunction due to the effect of hormonal
imbalance.

I will give you 15 minutes to do your activity, afterwards present and report your
output in front of the class, finish or unfinished is it clear class?

Analysis:

Ok, now let us check if you are correct base on your activity

Q25. What condition may arise if the pituitary gland is not producing enough
growth hormone?

Q26. What will happen to a person with excessive secretion of growth hormones
from the pituitary gland?

Q27. Why is there a noticeable swelling in the front part of the neck of a person
who has a goiter?

Q28. How does using iodized salt help in preventing thyroid problems?
Q29. How does the medical condition of a person with endocrine dysfunction
affect his or her way of life?

Abstraction: Students
Ok once again what is hormones? interaction
What are the five major functions of hormones?
What causes hormonal imbalance?
How does the medical condition of a person with endocrine dysfunction affect his
or her way of life?

Application:
So base on our topic do you already understand the functions of hormones to our
body?
Is it hormones important?
What do you think will happen if there is an hypersecretion and hyposecretions of Students
hormones by our indocrine glands? interaction
What do you think will happen if there is a hypersecretion of insulin?

Assignment:
Study about the effects of hormones in the body and by next meeting we will have
a short quiz
