Connecting physiology with your own life
If you have a body, everything you do in your life connects with some aspect of your physiology. Show me your understanding of physiology by applying the knowledge you've been learning in this class.
For this part of the exam, you will describe events from your own life this semester and provide a physiological explanation for each of the systems we've looked at for this block (integumentary, skeleton-articular, and muscular).
To guide you, consider whether or not your explanation has included the big picture elements (zoomed-out view) and details down to the cellular/molecular level. Also, if someone wasn't familiar with the physiology terminology you've included, does your response include adequate descriptions of the terminology? Also, for a full response, ensure you're adding depth to your answers beyond the superficial aspects of your chosen scenario.
A good mindset to put yourself in as you respond here is to imagine that you're using your real-life scenario to *teach* someone else the physiology behind it.
1. Choose either the DIGESTIVE system, the ENDOCRINE system, OR the RENAL system for this response. You only need to complete this for the one system you choose. Do not forget the learning reflection as well.
A. With a paragraph or two, describe a situation or part of the day from your own life within the past month that you're going to use to highlight aspects of nervous system physiology.
B. Describe the specific components (structures, cells, chemical signals, tissues, organs, and control systems) involved and their physiological role in your described situation. Make sure to use the physiological terms/concepts you've learned so far. Be sure to include details, specifics, and explanations.
