Extractions: Pronunciation Key hypothalamus , an important supervisory center in the brain , rich in ganglia, nerve fibers, and synaptic connections. It is composed of several sections called nuclei, each of which controls a specific function. The hypothalamus regulates body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, and sugar levels in the blood. Through direct attachment to the pituitary gland , the hypothalamus also meters secretions controlling water balance and milk production in the female. The role of the hypothalamus in awareness of pleasure and pain has been well established in the laboratory. It is thought to be involved in the expression of emotions, such as fear and rage, and in sexual behaviors. Despite its numerous vital functions, the hypothalamus in humans accounts for only 1/300 of total brain weight, and is about the size of an almond. Structurally, it is joined to the thalamus ; the two work together to monitor the sleep-wake cycle.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key hyrax , name for rabbit-sized mammals of Africa and SW Asia comprising the family Procavidae. Although rodentlike in appearance, hyraxes are hoofed mammals, or ungulates (see Chordata ), most closely related to elephants and sea cows. The hyrax, also called coney, has a squat, furry body, with short slender legs, short ears, and a short tail. It has small hooves on its toes, and moist padded soles that cling to steep surfaces by suction, making it an excellent climber. There are about 14 hyrax species, classified in two genera. The genus Procavia includes the ground-living species, sometimes called dassies. Dassies are rock dwellers and live in colonies of up to 50 animals; they are found especially in deserts and hills. Most species of the genus Dendrohyrax are arboreal and are known as tree hyraxes; they are the only tree-dwelling hoofed mammals. Tree hyraxes are solitary and nocturnal; they are confined to forested regions of Africa. Hyraxes feed on seeds, fruit, and leaves, and in large numbers can be serious agricultural pests. They are classified in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Hyracoidea, family Procavidae.

Extra Credit http://www.watertown.k12.wi.us/HS/Staff/Meyers/meyer.php
Extractions: Mr. Meyer's Extra Credit Signup It seems like there are always people who want to do extra credit. I do not like giving out a bunch of problems...that is just busy work. I have decided that extra credit should be in the form of a report or project .These will be done on either a Mathematician , a Math Problem or a Type of Math (see the form below). The report may be either written or oral to your class. A project would be some sort of multimedia presentation to the class using either PowerPoint or Hyperstudio. If written, the report must be at least 3 pages double spaced with 1 inch margins. A 10 or 12 font is prefered and at least 3 sources must be cited in a bibliograpy. If an oral report or project is done it must be at least 5 minutes in length and must convey what you did, where you found things, etc. The reports and projects will count up to 5% of a quarter grade...meaning that if you have 78% and do a really good job, it will raise you to 83%. They may be done one time a Quarter . 5% is a big grade...so they need to be good. Time and planning are essential. Dont try to knock one out overnight, chances are you wont get a lot of points for something like that. You should also be aware that a multimedia presentation or oral report to your class will most likely get you a better percent than a written regurgitation to me. Please provide the following information so that I know who is planning on doing an extra credit piece: First name Last name Class e-mail Choose one of the following options deciding which type of extra credit you will be doing
