In this project, I had to come up with 10 anatomical movements and a song to combine it in to a dance. Moreover, I was assigned to record a video explaining each movement, finish the handout, and even present the work to my classmates. I decided to settle with Circumduction, Pronation and Supination, Abduction and Adduction, Elevation and Depression, Flexion and Extension, Opposition, Inversion and Eversion, Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion, Rotation, and Hyperextension. Not only have I enjoyed dancing, but I also understand the anatomical movements so much more in depth, which prepared me well for the upcoming exam.
This project was a group work of three and I was the leader of the team helping my other two friends to complete their tasks and clear their confusion on the Support and Motion content. Therefore, I can fully say that I get to be the Articulate Communicator and the Leader of the Future as connected to MUIDS ESLOS. Furthermore, I am proud of this masterpiece because I was given only 3 days to complete everything and present it in class; thus, I dedicated most of my time perfecting every detail. Ultimately, I finished within time and even got the appreciation from my teacher, Mr. Ronald, and all of my friends.
Cell signaling and communication is essential for maintaining homeostasis in all organisms. However, the drugs and diseases can cause the disruption of the normal cellular communication. In this activity, I decided to explore a type of common drug called LSD, or lysergic acid diethyl amide because it can come in different unique shapes and forms. Moreover, it is a mind-altering, psychedelic drug in which the symptoms last longer than other types of hallucinogens. I got to do deep research on this topic, which makes me a Strategic Learner. Additionally, this topic is beneficial to me as it helps me realize the danger of the drugs that can greatly affect humans' bodies and minds.
In this lab, I got to explore a variety of structures, locations and functions in this non-human mammalian heart. Moreover, I figured out that structures like ventricles were easier to locate internally. However, the valves (tricuspid, pulmonary, and aortic) were harder to detect because of the smaller size and that they are embedded inside of the heart. From this, I found out that I grew to be a Morally Intelligent Person as I did appreciate this heart I dissected and I became mentally stronger because I was once so afraid of the raw body parts before.
