Unit 1 Reflection

• 
•  This unit was about the "basics" of anatomy. It was about how different cells function; what different tissues are for, and how they work;  the different macro molecules, and finally what anatomy and physiology are in terms of the body. 
•  The themes present in Unit 1 were the function and structure of the body, basically Anatomy and Physiology. This unit was to show how the body worked and what each structure in your body performed. From where the arms are related to the head, to the tissues that hod our body together, to the cells that make the tissues and our whole body. 
•  During this Unit i learned that Anatomy means structure of the body parts and that Physiology is the function of the body parts. Hence this, i learned how to determine where certain body parts are related to other body parts. For example, the nose is medial, inferior, anterior to the eyes. I then learned about the systems in the body such as the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, immune, excretory, endocrine, reproductive, nervous, integumentary, skeletal and muscular system. I then learned that all cells are either simple or stratified-meaning one, or more layers. Each cell is then either squamous or cuboidal or columnar. Next i learned about the 4 different biological molecules; lipids, nucleic acids, proteins and carbs. Finally i learned about the different tissues in the body such as connective, epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue. 
•  I didn't fully understand the shape of the cells all that clear and i kept getting mixed up with the names too. I also didn't get all the Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. Finally it was hard to tell the difference between the three muscle tissues (Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac). 
•  I will improve on my Temp checks and being more prepared for those. i will also improve on understanding the assignments better and knowing how and when to do them because i was late a couple times along with including to little pictures. 
• Something that relates to this unit is the major of kinesiology. I know this because i had a trainer for baseball and when i talked to him about his major, he said he had to take two years of anatomy and physiology because to be a trainer, you must know the human body like the back of your hand so you know what eeac person can and can't do.
