Muscosceletal System: Chapter Analysis

Begin your study of biology this year by reading Chapter 1. It will serve as a reminder about biological concepts

Homeostasis is what allows our internal system to maintain at a constant condition. In order to maintain equilibrium the body must communicate using the control system. It is essential that the body monitors its conditions whether that be blood pressure, thirst sensation or body temperature (this is either gained or lost). Negative feedback is most important and comes first, this allows for the body to correct itself and get back to a set point when it is off track. There are three components that link with this feedback. A sensor (receptor) sends signals to the control center that something is unusual, the control center compares the many values of our normal body range and decides

Compact bone contains Haversian Systems, which are in concentric circles called lamellae. Haversian system contains a blood supply and the periosteum is located on the outside

One class was forensic science; it mainly covered pattern evidence, controlled substances, forensic instrumental, analysis, trace evidence, law/science interface, ethics and quality assurance. Giving me the skills to be prepared for the future successes in either a laboratory or courtroom. Most memorable unit in the class would be learning the process of decomposition and rigor mortis of a human or animal body moments after death. After the course ended I figured soon I’d need to learn more about the human body, so senior year I took a fifth science on anatomy and physiology. Didn’t think the subject would be difficult, but so far memorizing the different cavities, muscles, and many other parts has kept me studying

One of the few things we learned this year that can be related to this book are the bones and skin. We learned about how the skin heals itself when it's wounded or injured in many

Module two focused on the nervous and endocrine systems. I learned about the structure and function of the nervous system. I learned about the way it reacts to different stimuli and which parts of the nervous system are reacting. I did an assignment where I explored different scenarios when each part of the nervous system would act. I also talked about the anatomy of the brain and the function of each region. The assignment that best helped me to grasp this concept was the honors summative. Locating and giving image descriptions for each part of the brain really helped me. Finally, I learned about the endocrine system and hormones. I found it really interesting to learn what parts of my body and what chemicals are causing the feelings that I fell in different situations. As I have gone through life since this module, I try to think about hormones and my nervous system when I am in a certain situation and feeling a certain way. I try to think about what is causing the way that I am feeling and it

Personally I thought this chapter was a headache. I constantly had to read a page and then reread it. A lot of this information I have head from previous psychology classes, but just reading it was harder to understand rather than having an instructor teach it. I pretty much highlighted the whole book because I thought it was all-important.

The human muscular system is made up of over 600 connecting muscles. All of the muscles work together in sync to make your body move in inumerable different ways.

As a group, we all learned about the different parts within the vertebral column and the ribs. Each of us took different parts and examined them. Destiny went over vocabulary, diseases that may affect the vertebrae, and extra information on the five types of curvatures in the vertebrae. She passed out a diagram of the regional characteristics of the vertebrae and the vertebral column. Next, Shelby went over the movement allowed in the ribs and vertebrae, the bones in the axial skeleton, and ways to remember the bones. She also created the 3D model for the ribs and labeled them. Finally, Kristin went over the function of the vertebrae and ribs as well as blood cell production and mineral storage in the bones. Kristin also brought in two bones from an animal one was from the vertebrae and the other was from the rib. She also created

Anatomy and Physiology was my favorite class in high school. I enjoyed learning about the structures

Chapter 4 will summarize the findings. Then I will lay out possible paths for future

So far I have been enjoying this course, but I will admit that I have not spent as much time on reading the chapters as I should have. I have been a little distracted by all of my other classes and on top of that now, I have been focusing more on the test, case study, and presentations that are coming up very soon. It is all very overwhelming, because there are so many assignments due in a short amount of time, I pushed the readings to the very last thing that I worry about, which I know will not help me learn the material. I have reread over two chapters; chapter five, and nine. Chapter five is the chapter my group and I will be presenting so I want to make sure I know that chapter well. Chapter nine was not my strongest area when we practiced

I really think that I would have to say that Oxytocin was one of the most interesting topics in chapter 2.

The musculoskeletal system is a made up of the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides the internal framework for the body, it protects the organs by enclosing it and anchors skeletal muscles so that the muscles can contract thus causing movement. The skeleton is divided into two divisions: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 94). The Axial skeleton are the bones that have formed the longitudinal axis of the body which is made up of the skull, the vertebral column and the thoracic cage (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 98). The Appendicular skeleton are the bones of limbs and griddles that are attached to the axial skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 103).

I would like to start by saying that I really enjoyed going through the chapters and it made me think a little more in depth about my role as a nurse.
