.MY VIDEO@_@!!!!!.

The Special Senses

I have learned that these special senses are very important and very essential to everyday life. They are highly integrated with the nervous system. Without them, you can't see, hear, feel, smell etc. They are very useful in our daily life.

If I were to discuss this to anybody, I'll make myself very clear to avoid ambiguity. I'll make them feel the environment around us. See everything, smell different kinds of fragrances, hear the most wonderful voices, taste the bitterness and sweetness of life and feel the things hot, cold, etc. And I'm also going to discuss to them the importance of taking care of our body especially the senses.

Patrick was the reporter of this topic. I wasn't able to see how he discussed it because I was pulled out from the class for a SciMath meeting. So I have no comments for him. But even though I didn't see him reporting, I still learned alot because goodthing I read the topic.;)

The Endocrine System

The endocrine system and the nervous system may seem like separate systems, but I had learned that they are totally interconnected and they monitor each other's activities. The endocrine system also collects informations and send orders. It's slower and more subtle control system.

If I'll explain this to others, I'll make sure that I first studied the topic very well. So I can explain it to them clearly. I'll also use concept maps for easier understanding.

I was supposedly the reporter of this topic. But unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to report my topic because my report was saved in an usb, when it was supposedly to be burned in a cd. Which I didn't do because it had troubles burning. Well so much for that. Anyway, Sir Gregg discussed my topic. And I absorbed well the lessons.;P

The Nervous System:Part II

I have learned that the brain and the nerves are the major control system of the nervous system. The brain acts as the main processor of the body. And the brain has also 3 major parts namely: the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the brain stem. These 3 parts have different tasks and functions for the body to work well.

If I’ll explain the nervous system to others, I’ll read firsts the topic thorougly. After that, I’ll search the meanings of the difficult words to understand. Next, I’ll summarize it with the use of concept maps and examples and lastly, I’ll deliver it to them very well so that they can understand completely.

Jezzali reported the nervous system: Part 2 to us. I liked what she has done to her report. She presented it to us as briefly as she possibly could. With all the concept maps, we didn’t have a hard time understanding the lesson> But she lacked energy that made her boring to listen. Actually, I didn’t listen to her :) but I would have understood her lesson if I listened because it was very good but I understand some of her topic even though I didn’t listen well.

.!Lesson of the Day!.

If you saved something...Never ever ever forget to publish it!

The Nervous Sytem: Part I

I have learned that the nervous system is the control part of the body. It is the main operator of our body. It helps us to tackle different things in our every day life.

If I'll explain this to others. I'll compare the nervous system to a city. The topic is kind of difficult to tackle so we must find ways to make it easier to understand. The nervous system is said to be the control part of the body. In the case of a city, there must have a control system to monitor conditions, take correct actions and many more tasks to make a city a good one. This is also the same as in the body. The body must have a control system in order for it to function well.

This was discussed to us by Cecille, our classmate who's the reporter of this topic. Actually, I didn't understand a single thing on what she reported. I was too boredto listen to her. I rather read the book by myself than to listen to her. She could have done morefor us to be interested to her topic. More interactions or more energy. No offense on Cecille's side, maybe I can't report my topic good either but as far as my brain is concerned, I didn't learn anything at all. I only understand the topic when I read it by myself.

The Integumentary System

I have learned that the integumentary system is the protective covering of our body. It protects us from pathogens and other harmful elements in the environment.

If I'll explain this to others, I'll just expalin this briefly. There are three layers of the skin: the epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis. The epidermis is avascular which means there are no blood vessels here. So, if it is ripped, you won't feel any pain. It is composed of dead cells. If you are wounded, and blood is present and so is the pain then the wound is cut into the dermis, where blood vessels, nerve cells are found and so are sensory receptors that's the reason for feeling the pain. In the hypodermis, insulation of body temperature is being done. This is why we can adapt in the environment.

Ivy reported this topic well. She summarize her report unlike Erick. Although I didn't understand what she had discussed, it was just alright because I already read in advance the lesson.
