SOLUTION to BIO-201: Human Anatomy and Physiology I - Summary of Current Course Content Knowledge.

SAMPLE 1

Hello everyone,

Which weekly objectives do you have prior knowledge of and to what extent?

I have a basic understanding of some of the weekly learning outcomes addressed in topic 1 such as Homeostasis and Feedback mechanisms from my Biology classes. First of all, I feel that I have a good grasp of the basic chemistry of life, which encompasses the properties of water, macromolecules and the distinction between inorganic and organic chemistry. In Topic 2, I acknowledge that cell membrane is made up of phospholipid bilayer and I understand its concept of being selectively permeable. I also know about the cellular transport methods such as diffusion, osmosis and other active transport. About Topic 3, I am familiar with the roles of the integumentary system, as it involves protection, temperature regulation, and synthesis of vitamin D. Moreover, I understand the relative location and functions of different bones and the process of bone formation.

Which weekly objectives do you have no prior knowledge of?

There are several objectives where I have no prior knowledge, notably those in Topic 4 like the microscopic and molecular components of skeletal muscle. In Topic 5, I lack knowledge about saltatory conduction and the role of myelin, as well as the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier and cerebrospinal fluid flow. Topic 6 presents new material for me, specifically the functions of the 12 cranial nerves and the types of information they carry. In Topic 7, I have no prior understanding of the neurotransmitters and pharmacology of the autonomic nervous system or the detailed physiology of equilibrium and hearing.

What course-related topics would you like to discuss with your instructor and classmates?

Notably, I am keen in more recent and complex mechanisms of cellular transport and their implications to human health and illness. Another topic of interest is the processes of neuronal communication, which I want to investigate with an emphasis on how their interruption causes neurological disorders. Some additional topics that should be discussed include the autonomic nervous system, especially the pharmaceutical options and their consequences.

Questions or Concerns:

I have a few questions and concerns regarding the course. One is how we can better integrate and apply the various physiological concepts learned each week to build a comprehensive understanding of the human body. Additionally, I am curious about the most effective ways to assess our understanding of complex physiological processes.
