Unit 1 Reflection

This unit was about the basic structure of the anatomy of the body, more specifically
the cells that make up the major portions of the body. There were a lot of things I learned that I had forgotten since biology freshman year, like the different functions of the organelles. Some of the essential things we learned in this unit, like how to describe the location of injuries and things of interest in or on the body, I'm still a little shaky on. I also am not 100% certain on the visual differences between the 4 cell types we learned about. But I did learn how to use the resources that are given to us, better and how the shape of a cell can often show its function.

In the next unit, I plan on staying on top of studying and going over my notes at least 5 mins a night to raise my temp check grades. But one fo the things that will also help me in the next units, is that I am also taking sports med, so I am getting almost double the instruction and review on the body. A very important job that is majorly dependent on anatomy and physiology is Athletic Training. Being an athlete myself, the Schools athletic trainer, Liz, has been a necessary part of my athletic career, especially with the number of injuries that I seem to obtain throughout my sports seasons.
