Unit 7 Reflection


In this unit we learned about directional terms and joint movements, muscle fibers, performance enhancers, and of course, the muscular system! Projects that we did interspersed between lectures really helped bring together and highlight the ways our body works together (such as in our Muscle Contraction Skit Video). This skit depicted the specific steps of contraction in an easy and thorough way since we were able to apply what we learned and not just read it off a piece paper. In addition, the dissection of a chicken that we did helped solidify my understanding and knowledge of the muscles and how they work with tendons and bones to move (Chicken Dissection). I would like to learn more about different muscle diseases and how they affect the person with that disease and the muscles themselves. Learning about the Performance Enhancers touched on that subject but I would like to go a bit more in depth with natural consequences as well.  In regards to my New Years' resolutions, the anabolic steroids 'ad' let me research more about it, as did the chicken dissection. I would say that I am following it sometimes but since it takes more time for me because I like going into more depth, I would like to modify my resolutions to be at least once a unit.
