Human Body System

The purpose of this assignment was to create a feedback loop that demonstrates how the Adrenal Gland regulates itself.

The objective of this assignment was to pick certain glands from the endocrine system and create a feedback loop that would explain the process in which they regulate themselves, when something changes. 

The assignment fits in the overall unit because the Adrenal Gland is part of the Endocrine system, and also helps explain the process in which these hormones help regulate these glands.    

I've learned that the Adrenal Gland is controlled by the Hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which releases certain hormones to help control or regulate the gland.    

Reflection 

This assignment showcased my skills in modeling certain aspects of the Adrenal Gland and demonstrates my skill in developing models with relevant and important details. 

This assignment demonstrates the overall theme of this course because it represents a part of the body and how it works inside the human body. The assignment also helps us gain a better understanding of the different glands and hormones that incorporate itself into the Endocrine System.

I enjoyed this assignment because i was able to learn more and understand the process the Adrenal Gland takes to regulate itself, when something in the body changes or affects its function. 

This assignment connects to a deeper extent because people that are interested in this course or looking to further develop their understanding of the human body could use this model as a reference or example. 

The purpose of this assignment was to create a presentation or diagram explaining how a type of food is processed by the Digestion System.  

 The objective of this assignment was to pick a food and model how the food is processed, also explaining how the different parts of the digestion system, play a role in digestion. 

The assignment fits in the overall unit because we were learning about the Digestion System, and to better understand the digestion of food, through the process of digestion and how the different parts of this system help break down this foods in different ways. 

I've learned that there are both mechanical and chemical digestion, as the food goes from the mouth to the recon were the process of elimination happens. 

Reflection 

The challenging part of this assignment was incorporating the different skills and overall instructions from the rubric. Also had a little problem with fully modeling and explaining the different steps of digestion. 

I could reread the rubric and incorporate the missing factors and have a peer review the presentation to fix certain aspects of the assignment. I could also rework the explanation and remodel the assignment, to fit the rubric.

I have learned that i could have a clear understanding if I go through the topic beforehand, and highlight and refer to the rubric as I'm completing the assignment.   

The purpose of this assignment was to create a presentation or diagram explaining how Marie is a person with a problem with her  Urinary System. 

 The objective of this assignment was to map Marie's symptoms and try to conclude an illness that would fit her symptoms and how she is feeling. 

The assignment fits in the overall unit because we were learning about the urinary system and were able to conduct different experiments and labs to reason down different illnesses and find the illness causing the symptoms. 

I've learned that the Urinary System can cause really different symptoms through the glands present, for example you could find blood and infections through testing urine. 

Reflection 

The challenging part of this assignment was incorporating the different skills and overall instructions from the rubric. Another problem I encountered was not being able to connect the dots as quickly as I wanted. 

The assignment represents important values and previews of the course and how you can incorporate the medical field, to help identify illnesses and symptoms in people. 

This assignment connects to a larger part of the world because the slide and assignment overall could be used as a reference or be analyzed by others, to help other people understand. 

The purpose of this assignment was to incorporate different skills and to use the information learned through the unit to help recall and answer the questions reflected by different situations in the Urinary System. 

 The objective of this assignment was to try to understand and answer the questions correctly to help through the test and in a way help the teacher understand how much the person actually remembered or learned. 

The assignment fits in the overall unit because the test was suppose to help use incorporate what we learned through the unit of the Urinary System and to answer questions based on the topic. 

I've learned that there are different situations in the Urinary System which could conclude different references and illnesses. 

Reflection 

The challenging part of this assignment was incorporating the different skills and overall trying to recall different things learned through the unit to help answer the questions. 

I could improve the assignment by studying beforehand and also try to understand the unit better on my own time to help clarify it. 

I've learned that i could use different methods and also learned that i could help myself remember certain things for the unit.  

The task of this assignment was to create a procedure that would help us design a presentation based on the scenario we chose, to show muscle fatigue. 

Our objective was to collect data from our classmates, by measuring their grip strength and comparing them from their least dominant to their dominant hand. This would lead us to using research and our purpose for the lab to design a presentation.

The assignment fit in with the overall unit because we were learning about Muscular system and also looking at a case study about how two people were effected by muscle fatigue and having problems with there muscular system. 

I have learned that there are many other systems besides the Muscular system that helps it in many ways. There are many hormones and different  types of reactions in the Muscular system, because of other systems in the body. 

Reflection

This assignment showcases my strengths because it shows my skill of gathering research and relevant data to help develop the presentation and its accuracy in data. 

The assignment represents important themes in course because we are learning and developing our understanding  in the many systems in the human body. 

I enjoyed and appreciated the assignment because it was fun discovering the new things about the Muscular system, and also developing my skills in research. 

The assignment connects to a larger community because it could be used as a demonstration or sample of data by other people to help them in there research, or compare the same experiment.  

The purpose of this assignment was to incorporate different skills and to use the information learned through the unit to help recall and answer the questions reflected by different situations in the Circulatory System. 

 The objective of this assignment was to try to understand and answer the questions correctly to help through the test and in a way help the teacher understand how much the person actually remembered or learned. 

The assignment fits in the overall unit because the test was supposed to help us incorporate what we learned through the unit of the Circulatory System and to answer questions based on the topic. 

We learned how there are different scenarios in the Muscular System and how they could affect someone differently. 

Reflection

The challenging part of this assignment was incorporating the different skills and overall trying to recall different things learned through the unit to help answer the questions. 

I could improve the assignment by studying beforehand and also try to understand the unit better on my own time to help clarify it. 

I've learned that I could use different methods and also learned that I could help myself remember certain things based on these methods to develop my understanding.
