Lymphatic and respiratory systems
You’ve learned the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, and respiratory systems. As much as we like to partition the body into discrete units, it is often the case that systems are interdependent and their function is intimately tied to other organ systems.
For the Week 8 discussion of 255, I would like you to think back on the previous sessions and choose one organ or organ system covered in BIOS251 and BIOS252 (Chemical and cellular organization, tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, joints, muscular system, nervous system, special senses and endocrine system).
After that, discuss how that organ/organ system is connected to the material we have covered in BIOS 255.
For example, we talked about the importance of intrinsic factor to making red blood cells in Week 1. You could discuss the connection between dietary absorption of intrinsic factor, vitamin B12, and the maintenance of a healthy hematocrit.
Obesity and Body Fitness
Writing Question
This assignment is broken down into two parts. 1.) How has this class influenced your thoughts, feelings, and assumptions on obesity compared to where they were at the onset of this course? 2.) Also, reflect on your experiences working with your client. What worked? what didn’t? What would you do differently? A total of 500 words for both questions. So about 250 words for the fist question and about 250 words for the second question. The second part of this assignment is based on a project that I had this semester. This project made me recruit someone and worked with him on a weight loss/fitness program goal. I made my project more based on a fitness goal rather than a weight loss goal. You can take a look at the Pre and post assessment pdf to see what my patient goal was before he started and what he achieved at the end. The Semester SOAP Notes has all the notes and fitness plan of my client that I wrote throughout the semester. For example, for the question what worked. You can put that having good relationship and communicating with my client(he’s my brother but lives with wife) helped. That he has soccer experience so he’s familiar with a soccer fitness program. Doing more soccer related exercises like agility drills, ball technique, and soccer skills. For what didn’t you can put that he diet plan wasn’t as good as it should’ve been. Bad eating habits
