Week 15 Reflection

This week in Mr. Wan's honors biology class, we learned about Human Body Systems.  There are 11 different systems including the Circulatory, Integumentary, Excretory, Digestive, Immune, Lymphatic, Nervous, Muscular, Respiratory, Reproductive, and Skeletal System.  Our group was given the specific system of Integumentary.  It includes the hair, skin, and nails and is protects the body from various kinds of damage.  

Week 16 Reflection

As the end of the year approaches, the class is gaining a sense of urgency to complete everything before it is time for finals. The majority of this week was spent going over/reviewing the human body systems. As a class we discussed the immune system, the circulatory system, the skeletal system, and the nervous system. We also lightly touched on the other seven systems, but we only went in depth with these four. Being that the unit test is tomorrow, we were given the opportunity to create a reference sheet to refer to on the test. The reviews that we did helped not only to prepare for the test, but also to clear things up in terms of understanding how our bodies work.

Week 15 Reflection

The body system that was the focus of the class this week was the circulatory system. The circulatory system is an organ system that includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels. This system is crucial to transport things such as nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, blood cells, and more throughout the body. We also went further in depth in arteries and veins. For example, we discussed the location and importance of the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. The circulatory system makes up only a fraction of the human body, nonetheless, our survival depends on it.

Circulatory System Reflection

Dear fellow followers,

This week Mr. Wan taught us about the circulatory system. The circulatory system is an organ system  that permits blood and lymph circulation to transport things such as nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, blood cells, etc. to and from cells in the body. We mainly talked about the heart and blood vessels and how they work. We also went further in depth and talked about the arteries, veins, and capillaries. The circulatory system is a very interesting topic and very important as well.
