The clock in one sitting
A read of this page, with the plate.


One pass. Cone in the center of the head — serotonin by day. Chart 1-1: tryptophan, P-5-P, rubidium; milk as influence if it will not. Light falls: two enzymes down the stem, melatonin in the brain stem. Pods below the thalamus — thirst, hunger, fear, temperature — the autonomic as sympathetic and parasympathetic. Neurohumors down the infundibulum, GLA as influence. Anterior builds, posterior stores. Then the stop: known endocrine disease, a pregnant body, a child, a hormone on a chart, a blow to the head. Chart 1-1 still orders it. Class 18 is not tonight.
Practice
Walk the clock once: cone, cascade, night, pods, stalk, pea, stop. Journal the gland that was loud. Do not finish the list so the week looks complete.
Check
This week’s clock, walked once, is:
- A reprint of the syllabus three times
- Cone, cascade, night enzyme, pods, stalk, pea, then the stop ✓
- Every neurohumor pendulumed until the list is done
One board. Names, not a dose you write.
Melatonin on this clock is:
- A second factory in the raphe, different from the pineal’s serotonin
- Pineal serotonin, two enzymes down, melatonin in the brain stem — one story ✓
- A capsule you take so the week looks finished
One origin story. Not two.
The hypothalamus on this clock directs:
- Sympathetic, sitting outside the autonomic
- The autonomic — sympathetic and parasympathetic ✓
- Only the pineal
Two faces of one system. Not sympathetic as a third.
GLA on this clock sits:
- On chromium from Course 12
- On the stalk — neurohumors down the infundibulum ✓
- On the last cut of lactose
The material of the stalk hour. Not a bottle of borage.
Anterior on this clock:
- Stores oxytocin and ADH
- Builds TSH, ACTH, GH, FSH, LH, MSH, prolactin ✓
- Is the pineal
Anterior builds. Posterior stores.
Posterior on this clock:
- Builds TSH from TRF
- Stores oxytocin and ADH made in the hypothalamus ✓
- Sends a named hormone to the thymus
The making was upstairs. Thymus is named on the scatter, not as a pituitary target.
P-5-P on this clock is:
- A second B6 counted twice on Chart 17-2
- B6 as the phosphate — the form the serotonin cascade asks for ✓
- Folic to THFA, which Class 17 does not teach
Chart 17-6 sat on Chart 1-1. Folic to THFA is not this class.
One stop list for this class:
- A dose of melatonin if sleep will not
- Known endocrine disease, a pregnant body, a child, a hormone on a chart, a blow to the head: you stop ✓
- Yank the cord at the seventh and finish the list
The same five on the index, the week, and the lab.
The week is complete when:
- Every neurohumor has been pendulumed
- You can name the three, the stalk, and the stop ✓
- The student has taken melatonin
Names and the stop. Not a kit.
You do not start Class 18 tonight because:
- Kidney is unrelated
- One clock is enough. Water is the next map, not a prize for finishing ✓
- The pineal forbids it
One class. Then here.
